I consider myself born-again. My reading of the Bible is that if you trust in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for forgiveness and salvation then God will forgive your sin. My understanding is that Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox believe that.

Yeah, we (Catholics) used to do the stations of the cross and stuff, when I was a kid. And part of that was "He was crucified, died, and rose for our sins". Or something along those lines.

But now that I look back at my 6 years of Catholic school, I do find it odd that we never "Studied the Bible". And if I'm not mistaken, some Protistants have a real problem with that...? (Which makes sense...But then again, I don't know WHY Catholics don't study the bible like other religions do).
