sorry, you've got it wrong

In the Church the atonement for sins is Christ's salvation. The High Priest is Jesus Christ who is present at every Divine Liturgy (Mass) in the form of the Eucharist

And no, Salvation in the Church comes from Christ it is not from your works

There's no gospel or Christ in your beliefs, right?

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SAY WHAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES, YOU ARE MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF.

As I understand it, Catholics believe it's not by works, but by Jesus Christ but Jesus requires works in order to give salvation.

Which is correct as described by Jesus, the Apostles, the prophets, in 90% of the New Testament.

Claiming that all you have to do is believe in Jesus and that means Salvation goes against not only the instructions of Jesus Himself but all the prophets since Adam. To claim this you literally have to disavow the New Testament.

I'm totally baffled by this claim.
