“They tell us they we are not saved by works yet, I’m told that they MUST evangelize in order to be saved.”

Christians are not saved by evangelizing, but they are asked to do so by their King.

Think about it. What would you do if you saw someone telling others it’s ok to do things God said not to do in the Word, and who even claim doing evil can be justified by pointing to some papers sin-filled fallen men wrote or by their ridiculous twisting of the meaning of few verses in Scripture? Would you be able to stand by and let them lead others to destruction? Or would you try to warn as many of them as you could by proclaiming the truth?

When you pray, the only two choices are to pray to God or Satan. If you are praying to, worshiping, anyone other than God, then it is Satan whom you are praying to. Saying that the Bible has sanctioned a third entity in Mary is false. There is so much that the Pope teaches to Rome that is false.

This kind of thing matters if one cares about worshiping, following, obeying the One True God and not who they would rather God be.

My King told me to spread the Good News of our Salvation.
How He died on a cross for us.

My King didn’t tell me to make fun of others, to bully or belittle people.

It's so interesting. Clearly you think that describes the Catholic Church. So my question is this:

A lot of us Catholics, including the 30+ adults who came into full communion in my parish this past Easter, don't see any such thing when they look at the Catholic Church.

So, when we read descriptions like this, our first conclusion, and it's a hard one to shake, is that the writer has no idea what he's talking about.

I'm guessing this kind of stuff maybe impresses readers who already agree with you. But it makes me want to dismiss anything you say. When somebody seems very wrong about something I know about, it's hard for me to believe him when he talks about something I might not know about.
