You're good with Scripture, PapaNew. Really good. You're just not good with enough of it.

How Scripture proclaims we are saved:

• By believing in Jesus Christ (Jn 3:16; Acts 16:31)
• By repentance (Acts 2:38; 2 Pet 3:9)
• By baptism (Jn 3:5; 1 Pet 3:21; Titus 3:5)
• By eating His flesh and drinking His blood (Jn 6)
• By the work of the Spirit (Jn 3:5; 2 Cor 3:6)
• By declaring with our mouths (Lk 12:8; Rom 10:9)
• By coming to a knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2:4; Heb 10:26)
• By works (Rom 2:6-7; James 2:24)
• By grace (Acts 15:11; Eph 2:8)
• By His blood (Rom 5:9; Heb 9:22)
• By His righteousness (Rom 5:17; 2 Pet 1:1)
• By keeping the commandments (Matt 19:17)
• By childbering (1 Tim 2:15)
• By our words (Matt 12:37)
• By compassion toward the needy (John 10:25-37; Matthew 25:31-46)
• By enduring to the end (Matt.24:13)

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness." 2 Timothy 3:16

Faith? Yes. If you want to find one word which comprises all of these items, and call that word "faith," that's fine with me. A 'real' faith. A 'faithful' faith. A 'living' faith.

Which is to say, being incorporated into Christ. That's what Paul says in Galatians 3:23-29 -- "Heirs according to the promise."

You're good with Scripture, PapaNew. Really good. You're just not good with enough of it.

But you are, eh???

How Scripture proclaims we are saved:

Since some are correct; I just took a couple out of the center to research...

By coming to a knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2:4; Heb 10:26)

You get saved by coming to a knowledge of the truth??? According to scripture???

1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Well you perverted that scripture pretty good...It says AND to come to the knowledge of the truth, NOT 'by' coming to a knowledge of the truth...And the next one???

Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Ya sin once and it's over??? I will say with confidence that you don't know any Catholic who has never sinned, including yourself...So it sounds like you are in a heap of trouble
