Yet in contrast Jesus said, 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 14:6 NASB
8But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
9that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
10for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” 12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.” Romans 10:8-13 NASB

Instead of quoting scriptural fragments out of context, it might help if you take the time to read with an open mind the actual document itself. The writings of Cardinal Ratzinger, considered by many to be the theological Einstein of our times may be above the intellectual IQ grade for many. But I trust you are not one of them. Instead, it is my hope you will read and convert as have so many leading Protestant theologians have done following a lifetime of study, teaching, prayer, and contemplation.
