I believe you've added some manmade doctrine to your faith, that's all. I think you believe the same of me, isn't that right?

That's right. How then are we to transcend what are only our different opinions and arrive at the truth of the faith? With regard to the content of faith, how do we move from mere belief (I believe because I think so) to actual faith (I believe because God has revealed it)? Are we to believe that our Lord has left us in a state where we can only have private conjecture about these issues?

Okay Petrosius, let's cut to the chase, what part of your Catholic Church must I have to receive salvation?

I really don't know, but coming from a Mormon background who believes I must perform ordinances here upon earth, that are designated by supposed prophets of God, in order that I might earn the Celestial Kingdom and a dwelling space with Him, I just don't see that we are separate. I'm asking you right now, what part of faith do you have in Christ Jesus, that is not available to me?
