Please feel free to remind them of that yourself.

Mrs. Schiavo had the grace of receiving the sacrament of extreme unction in her unconsciousness, wiping out whatever sins she had by the unction of the Lord and the prayers o the Priest.

I'm not a Catholic, so perhaps you'd explain this a bit further to me?

Catholics believe that you can be forgiven if the Priest repents for you? Protestants believe you must personally repent of your sins - is that not necessary if one is Catholic?

Is this sort of like Mormons baptizing dead ancestors by proxy so that they can see those ancestors in heaven?
