You are right that confirmed Catholics are called to explain the Holy Scripture but not to interpret it.

Right about confirmed Catholics? Maybe you are referring to one of the other people you pinged. Since I was at the top of the list, I assumed you were addressing me. I never knew about this little factoid, until you mentioned it, even though I am a confirmed ex catholic, so I couldn’t possibly be right about something I didn’t even know about, and never said in the first place.
I think you are playing word games again. Explaining scripture, and interpreting scripture, are exactly the SAME thing, except maybe not in YOUR world. Most of the time I disagree with your interpretations, oh sorry, your explanations. Am I always 💯% right? No, but on the only doctrine that REALLY matters, my interpretation (explanation) is totally and completely RIGHT. That is the plan of salvation. There is NO ROOM for false interpretation, oh sorry, explanation, of the plan of salvation. You either have it or you don’t. There is no middle ground. I have assurance of salvation. I am reasonably sure that you don’t. That’s on you bro, but I have no intention of waiting till the moment I die, to see if I make it to Heaven. Not going to happen.
Can you imagine, living your whole life, trying to attain salvation, only to find yourself standing tall at the Great White Throne judgment, and then being cast into the Lake of Fire? No way bro. Not going to happen. That is my interpretation, oops, sorry, explanation of the plan of salvation. If you push a different plan of salvation, ie, the Roman Catholic version, then of course, I will disagree with it, but I am comfortable with that. I don’t know about you, but I intend to have a nice eternity. If you don’t, well that is your choice. Just remember, it’s an eternal choice. Don’t mess it up. 😁😇😊😆👍

That is gravely sinful. The sin is presumption of salvation. Think again.
