[Joseph44]

The Council of Trent added NOTHING new to its teachings. There are plenty of references in the writings of the early Christians espousing belief in infallibility, Immaculate Conception, Assumption, etc. The Church has added nothing new since the death of the last Apostle. And-- there are too many places in Scripture that speak of the necessity of salvation by good works.

[old-ager]

I said the Council of Trent codified the false teachings, not that it added them. Please quote the church fathers for us on papal infallibility, for starters. And to clarify: are you telling me that your "good" works are somehow needed alongside the perfect and holy blood of Jesus Christ, offered for the sins of the world? I'm not holy, myself, and even I sense that your works are not perfect, and may even include exaggeration or lying about the church fathers.
