Annalex does not believe that, and I don’t think my posts even appear to say so.

There is one single moral law for all, whose source is God. Very many people have a good idea what the moral law is, and they follow it. Many non-Chrisitans have better morals than Christians, and many non-Catholics have better morals than Catholics. That is because moral law is natural law, it is, as St. Paul said, written in the hearts of all men (Rm 2:15).

You asked how one is sure in applying the law to oneself, and I answered that the best way is to ask the Church that Christ sent down with that very purpose in mind (Mt. 18:15-18).

“Catholics consult their priest. Others should probably convert to Catholicism and then consult their priest.”

And those of us who do are generous about trying to educate those of you who are confused.
