That’s why Protestants do not have “churches.” Now individual Protestans may be saved, but that is because of the grace brought into the world through the Mass.


I don’t belong to a church? lol
A Catholics Mass (works) has no power of salvation.
Salvation is by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

Do you really think you belong to a "church" as defined by the Catholic Church? You have priests with direct succession from the Apostles and your Church dispenses saving grace through the sacraments?

Correct. And God bestows His grace to those who are faithful to His Son by means of the sacraments - including the Mass.

The Mass is the Sacrifice on Calvary.

It is the work of Jesus Christ, not of men, and Christ's work is indeed the power of salvation to those who believe.
