Gutless. Afraid that the shaky foundations of whatever cultish group to which you belong can be damaged by the truth of Catholicism?

Catholicism is a religious system devised by men whereby they control the "faithful" through fear. Rome says one is saved by the Church (Rome) through the sacraments.

God says that a person is saved by grace through faith in Christ.

A person who has read the Bible and understood its message of salvation, and has acted on that message by repenting of his sins and accepting Christ as his savior, is thereby saved, and has become spiritually aligned with Truth. Regardless of what church that person attends - or even if he attends no church at all - he is saved and will forever remain so.

On the other hand, the vast majority of those who choose to align themselves with Roman Catholicism are lost. That is because it is a false religion, a spiritual counterfeit.

The Bible says otherwise (Acts 2:38).

The Bible says otherwise (Hebrews 10:25-31).

Your comments show so much ignorance. There's such little value in responding to one so out of touch with reality.

Perhaps you find the Big 'Ol SnakeHandler Church of the Almighty Dollar Donation ("Pastor's" name in 12' letters on the sign) is a better interpretation of Christianity?
