>>It is hard to have it both ways, either belief in the Lord Jesus Christ saves us by His Grace or it doesn't.<<

The Jesus of scripture most assuredly saves. Just because someone says Jesus doesn't mean it's the Jesus of scripture. God the Son. The Jesus of scripture didn't break the law of the Old Testament under which He was born by literally eating blood. The God of scripture doesn't give up what belongs only to Him to some "queen of heaven" or so called "saints". Jesus is not the brother of Satan as the Mormons believe in nor is He just one of many gods to be joined by many more.

The Mormons and Catholics are talking and worshiping this Jesus.

I don’t have a problem with their “brother of Satan” theology. Where did Satan come from? If Christ is The Son of Man then we are His Brothers.

Getting a doctrine wrong does not a sinner make nor condemn a person to Hell. Believing that the Host is the body of Jesus may be stupid to believe but it does not condemn. There is much we see dimly now but when He comes again it will be clear, this is simply one of the dim things.

As far as this “many gods theme” that gets paraded around here. I would ask this as a Christian. If Christ is The Son of God and will or has inherited all that His Father has does that not make Him God? If man accepts Christ and Christ says man will inherit all He has, what is it that man will not inherit? Godhood? I just don’t see the problem with this theology. I think the problem is semantics. Some words and ideas sound bad but when you think about it to the rest of the universe of souls that don’t follow Christ, His followers in Heaven will be as gods. They will never be God but angels they will not be, they will be like Him.
