I mean this about anyone that thinks they should trust in the RCC and is not born again. Can't quantify it. Anyone who is born again is saved, anyone who is not isn't. I have a lot of concern for people that are so quick to trust the RCC and reject the Bible or to trust in RCC defined works and are so quick to reject the one work Jesus did as being complete for them by faith.

Catholics don't reject the Bible. Protestants reject Tradition.

There is not one faithful Catholic who rejects the Bible. If not for the Catholic Church there would be no Bible today.

... or to trust in RCC defined works and are so quick to reject the one work Jesus did as being complete for them by faith.

Then count among them St. Paul:

For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having any righteousness of my own based on the law but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God, depending on faith to know him and the power of his resurrection and (the) sharing of his sufferings by being conformed to his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead. It is not that I have already taken hold of it or have already attained perfect maturity, but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ (Jesus). Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God's upward calling, in Christ Jesus. (Phil 3:8-14)

What is your precise definition of "born again" and does being Catholic automatically exclude a person from being born again?

are so quick to reject the one work Jesus did as being complete for them by faith.

How specifically do you see Catholics rejecting Christ's act of Salvation?
