You are “born again”
when you believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Pretty simple really. Catholics are as saved as you are if they believe (meaning “accept as true”) that Jesus is the Son of God. What is it about John 3:16 that is difficult to understand? Let’s quit making it more than that. If you think it is more than that , is John 3:16 a lie? Is it an ERROR?

Neither. It is merely a verse misunderstood by Protestants. That’s why so many Protestants struggle with the obvious meaning of 1 Peter 3:21.

Simple assent to fact?

Noticia, assensus, fiducia.
