I left the ROMAN Catholic Church - No wonder you disparage sola scriptura and sola fide, your religion has rejected what scripture teaches about salvation by grace through faith and substituted man's works and merits in place of the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ our savior and Lord.

STEP 3: Accuse the Catholic church of denying salvation by grace.

How I led Catholics Out of the Church

Well, here's a question for you:

If a man believes in Jesus Christ as savior, but does no "good works", would he still be justified?

STEP 3: Accuse the Catholic church of denying salvation by grace.

Just playing with the words again. Oh, that you really did teach and believe that to its fullest! How sad that the church in Rome, founded by Paul the Apostle, could veer so far away from what he stressed more than any of the other writers of scripture. God entrusted him with so much revelation about the gift of eternal life based not on man's works but purely by God's grace through faith.

That the church in Rome today not only denies this eternal truth, but condemns as heretical anyone who does not agree with them, must make him quite sad. I am grieved as well.
