The same way our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus gave us the example. By remaining obedient to the Father through faith and allowing the Holy SPirit to do His work.

The problem with this proposal is that it assumes that we already know what counts as "remaining obedient to the Father". The question on the table is: Which is more obedient to the Father: following the Protestants' interpretation(s) of Scripture or following the Catholic intepretation of Scripture?

It seems to me that the best way to attempt to resolve our disagreement is first to understand each other's positions. We can't compare the two positions if we don't have a good understanding of both of them. Second, we have to determine what point or points are fundamental to all the points of disagreement. In other words, we need to determine if all the points of disagreement depend on some one or more fundamental points of disagreement. And third, we need to evaluate the evidence for and against the fundamental points of disagreement. That's my proposal.
