Wow.... you’re basically saying “God, I thank you that I am not like that Catholic over there....” You really don’t see what you’re doing, do you?
Not at all, I’m saying I’m saved by the grace of God and only by His mercy. I’m saying works cannot save anyone. No self-righteous person, no matter how religious he is will ever get into heaven. I’m saying the teachings of the Catholic church make it all but impossible to be saved because it’s attached to the Pharisee and detached from the tax collector’s attitude. I know I’m a rotten sinner who deserved hell and was saved only by God’s grace, certainly not by any church, denomination or religion.
