Sure they go to church every single weekend and they attend catechism, and their children go to catholic school, but they don't read the bible at all throughout the week.

I call shenanigans. An adult doesn't "attend" Catechism. I wonder about your story.

They have to read the bible if they attend a Catholic Mass.

If someone is illiterate, does that mean they are damned because they can't read the Bible? Most of pre-Renaissance Europe was quite illiterate. This is why in Catholicism you see the stained glass windows, statuary, the order of Mass, and other devotional that instructed the people of God without reading.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It isn't a "story", I probably should have typed attendED. It was a simple mistype. But if you wouldn't take things out of context, the point was they don't know much of anything about God's word and they have been in the church their whole lives. Their children attend Catholic school right now!

These are not just some made up people. These are people who I love and interact with on a daily basis. It is my heart's desire and prayer to God for them, that they may be saved.

Do you beleive that Jesus is God?
