When you read the Bible you will see the fallacy of believing the Catholic church is the way to salvation through works.

Why is it no one wants to address what St. Paul said? What's with all the fear and trembling and "WORKING it out" if salvation is "in the bag" if you just believe? Responding with a different doesn't address the verse in question. Do you know the difference between what you "do" and what you "say"? "Doing" something is a work. Those who "do" the will of God will enter heaven. Are you calling Jesus a liar?

People are just trying to be kind to you when you take verses out of context.


"Responding with a different doesn't address the verse in question."

Works don't get anyone to heaven. Again the Bible states differently than what you wish to believe.

"Do you know the difference between what you "do" and what you "say"? "Doing" something is a work. Those who "do" the will of God will enter heaven."

Yes, works will NOT get you to heaven. THAT is why I added that verse from the Bible. You believe that works WILL get you to heaven.

"Are you calling Jesus a liar?"

No, you are.

The Bible is consistent. Works will NOT get you to heaven and belonging to the "Catholic church" or any other "church" will NOT give you eternal life.
