[Campion]

He didn't use the term "altar call". Abraham, Moses, Elijah, and Jesus all observed 40 day fasts. They just didn't call them "Lent".

Believers can meet any day or time of the week as they feel led.

And believers can also fast and pray for 40 days in preparation for Easter, and call it "Lent" if they like.

Stop using one set of standards for what is "Biblical" where Catholic beliefs and practices are concerned, and a different set of standards for yourselves.

Is this really your best argument??

Context is your friend in understanding Scripture.

True....as long as it's not mandated.

My standard is Scripture. I can point to the Bible for everything I believe whereas the RC cannot.
