“No the Catholic Church teaches that you WILL got to hell for not fulfilling your religious obligations.”
Then what good is grace?

Grace gives us the faith and hope in eternal life by which we are lead in the first place to participate in the sacraments which are the instrumental means of salvation Christ institutes through the Church.

Grace is irrelevant. It is by works and actions that Catholics are saved, according to papertyger. You can earn your way into Heaven, faith and Grace are not needed.
With zealots like that, there is no common ground. We are condemned to Hell in his own words, because we do not accept the exact same dogma as he espouses.

Then what good is grace? Grace has no value if it's not a blank check?
