P.S. (I wasn’t saved by baptism. I was saved by putting my faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ when I was 30 years old—39 years ago.)
You said: P.S. (I wasn’t saved by baptism. I was saved by putting my faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ when I was 30 years old—39 years ago.)
No actually you were saved when Jesus Christ made reparation for our sins by dying on the cross. No action of man can result in him or her being saved. Salvation comes from Grace not works (saying “I put faith in...” is an example of works, indicating that it was by some action on your part that you were saved). That Grace, freely offered through Christ’s sacrifice, was imparted by the Holy Spirit through baptism (and confirmation), and if you would come to the fullness of faith in Jesus Christ you could receive that grace every single day by receiving Him in the Eucharist.
It is my prayer that you, Marysecretary, come to understand this Truth and come to the indescribable joy of union with our Lord Jesus Christ in communion with His Church. Praise God for His many Blessings found in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church!!!
