Now wait a minute. If someone can go to heaven ignorant of Roman Catholic Doctrine then there is something else that gets them into heaven. What is it?

The Catholic church is only 2,015 years old and many people went to Heaven before she even existed...Human behavior has always been the basic method of achieving salvation. Don't steal your neighbors stuff, don't fool with his wife, don't kill anyone except in defense of your own life.....normal decent behavior was probably the hallmark of what it took for salvation....I'm not the judge here, but God would have NEVER condemned His people to eternal punishment for something that they didn't know was wrong.

Thanks for confirming Catholicism teaches we are saved by our own works righteousness. Imagine that! Jesus didn't even have to die. If righteousness comes by the law then Christ is dead in vain...or haven't you heard that? We are saved by grace THROUGH faith and not of ourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.

Come out of that false religion and into the light of the glorious gospel of the grace of God.
