[small voice in the wilderness]

Unless you have gone through a hearing after filling out loads of paperwork............you are still a Catholic.

"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."

Rules, regulations, hearings, filings, briefings. Does it NEVER END?

[Salvation]

It ends all right, at the moment of your death when those who deny the Catholic Church will have to answer for their sins.
