“once one has become a Catholic—and that was done by your free choice, responding to the offer of God’s grace and enlightenment, then we also need to make use of the Mass and the Sacraments.”
You are incorrect. I am a born-again Christian. When Jesus entered my heart, he did not say ... “head three miles South to the Catholic Church so you can worship Mary....”
Since no Catholic worships Mary why would you even suggest such an idea?
I guess this may apply to you, too:
“There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.”
You said: You are incorrect. I am a born-again Christian. When Jesus entered my heart, he did not say ... “head three miles South to the Catholic Church so you can worship Mary....”
Now I know why you started this thread. Must be time to start some Catholic bashing.
You know or should know that Jesus the Christ, is the reason for the Catholic Church.
We do not now nor have we ever worshipped Mary.
Watch and learn.

That's funny! I'm a born again Catholic Christian and he didn't tell me to worship Mary either!
