One of the problems with evangelical Christianity is that we have perverted the meaning of Revelations 3. We talk of inviting Christ into our lives, when what we need is to be born again - to die with Christ to sin, and live with Christ as a new creation.

On that I think we can agree, for sure. We cannot let Christ in until we are ready to die to ourselves. That is the assent to grace that I think is a place where, for the most part, Catholics and most Protestants can find some common ground.
