Oops. I meant to say the nuns like Mother. I can’t speak for her dying thoughts though. Those are between Mother Teresa and Jesus.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)" -- Hebrews 10:22-23 "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." -- Titus 1:15-16"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Even the good works of the reprobate mean nothing because "whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23).
