The Catholic position on salvation can be summed up thus: We are saved by Christ's grace alone, through faith and works done in charity inspired by the Holy Spirit.

IOW, the Catholic church does not believe that the death of Jesus was enough to save a person.

So when Jesus said *It is finished*, He really didn't mean it.

Sola gratia! Grace alone -- but a grace we have to co-operate with. Thinking that all one has to do is pray the "Sinner's Prayer" once to be saved is wrong. Thinking that all one has to do is be a "good person" to be saved is wrong.

But for God's grace, there's a person around who could draw their next breath.

God pours His grace on all. No one has to *co-operate* with it.

When many Protestants use the phrase "born again," they seem to be referring to an "emotional experience." They often expect instant transformation (which can certainly happen), speaking in tongues, miracles, etc. as some sort of "proof" of having been "born again."

The author does not have a clue as to what he's talking about.

It's clear that he does not understand what being born again is in the least.

This article is wrong on so many levels that it's almost unbelievable.

>>This article is wrong on so many levels that it's almost unbelievable.<<

That's a fact. And Satan's old tactics are well imbedded. From the article;

>>It takes more than simply knowing Jesus is the Messiah to be saved; even the Evil One knows Who Christ is.<<

Satan likes that tactic. Their is not one Protestant who would claim that just knowing who Jesus is brings salvation. It,s trust in Him and reliance on His shed blood that does. Catholics who keep using that Satanic Tactic should be aware of who they are emulating.

Neither do you - unless you think a person who rejects Jesus as his Savior is nonetheless saved.

God pours His grace on all. No one has to *co-operate* with it.

Does one have to refrain from rejecting that grace?
