Then sola fide is not a requirement for salvation? Then Catholics can believe in all the doctrines of the Catholic Church and still go to Heaven?

I wasn't paying that much attention to your Latin words...I was thinking you meant scripture only as opposed to faith only...

Here's what God teaches in the Scripture...

Faith only, gets you the free gift of salvation...Once you accept the free gift, you are counted as righteous...You have been given God's righteousness...Sin is no longer imputed to you...

Judgement:

Christians under Grace will be judged when they die or when they are Raptured

They will not be judged on what they did wrong...Those things will be burned so as to save the soul...Christians we be judged on what good they did, after becoming Christians...The reason for this judgement is to divvy out rewards to the better Christians...

This is NOT the Great White Throne Judgement of Revelation...

Now, what about you guys that don't believe in faith only???

You guys are right on track...What you claim is true...

If you reject faith only, you must live by the Law...And of course as the bible says, you will be judged by the Law as well...You will be judged (as you say) at the White Throne judgement at the end of Revelation...(I, as a faith only guy won't be there)...Judged for what you haved done good, and bad...It's all on your own merit...You have rejected the free righteousness of Jesus by rejecting faith alone...You must work for your ultimate righteousness...

And of course you say, I don't see that in the scriptures...You must be wrong...

Like I've said before, I don't understand everything I know...And I know you guys think you are the new Israel...I don't know if this has something to do with you guys not getting 'faith alone' or not...I know the eyes of Israel have been blinded til the age of Grace is completed...

So I am not saying you are wrong for believing in faith PLUS works...I don't believe you are...I'm just glad I'm not in your shoes...
