Sins for which they have not repented (will send a Protestant to hell.)

Christ said men must repent in order to see heaven.

"...except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." -- Luke 13:3

Obviously this is a great truth because Christ repeated the declaration two verses later in Luke 13:5.

But you made the comment about Protestants in particular...

VLAD: "If a Protestant goes to hell it is for different reasons."

I assume you believe the words of Christ who called on men to repent of their sins. Protestants believe that.

So what are the "different reasons" Protestants would "go to hell?"

Because we were discussing Protestants going to hell - or have you already forgotten that fact?

“I assume you believe the words of Christ who called on men to repent of their sins. Protestants believe that.”

Some men who might refer to themselves as Protestants, or might be called Protestants no matter what they would call themselves, may not any longer believe what you say or what Christ says. We have Catholics who - for whatever reason - fall away, ignore the teachings of Christ and the Church, etc. There are Protestants who do the same. You are correct - generally - when you say that Protestants believe men must repent of their sins. But that does not mean that is, in fact, the case with all Protestants at all times in their lives.

“So what are the “different reasons” Protestants would “go to hell?””

As I already said - sins for which they have not repented.

Why do you struggle with basic reading comprehension? We were discussing Protestants going to hell, or being consigned to hell, so I specifically mentioned Protestants going to hell and you assume it means something different than what was already said about it?

Why is it that anti-Catholics seem to have so many reading comprehension problems?

Not believing in the dogma of Mary was one of the most recent ones posted.
