***If we have done nothing to be Judged by, then we are instructed that we will be thrown into everlasting hell.

Yet you continue to claim you are saved by Grace Alone through Faith Alone. ***

We definitely claim that; yet the Protestant side has tremendous trouble with Matt 5-7. Would you be able to comment on that please?

***After all your pope claims higher authority than the Apostles. Your pope can make pronouncements that have no basis in Scripture and you must follow them. I rather trust the Apostles. They took their instruction directly from Jesus.***

You have demonstrated that you do not trust the Apostles. And the Pope has no more authority than the Apostles. He is after the successor of St. Peter.

***The Holy Spirit made sure that we would have the TRUTH by having writers record what we needed to know. Yet your fathers claim a special power of interpretation and your church claims to control God by the rituals you perform.***

The powers of interpretation outside of the Church are adequately understood given the thousands of Protestant denominations and the millions of individual understandings of the Faith.

***My faith is in my Saviour Jesus Christ.***

But my question is in whether or not that you understand the faith. The majority of Protestants quite clearly do not.
