To: Psalm 73
How is man saved? By baptism shortly after birth? or as Jesus told us in John 3:16?

For Catholics, it is by Mary ("ALL SALVATION" - UBI PRIMAM 1849 Pope Pius IX).

For us Reformed Protestants - It is BY GOD (our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ) Alone.

Don't be silly. I think for Catholics: Water Baptism saves them initially, then Jesus makes that state of grace maintainable by "freely" giving them "grace" (spiritual power), so they can perform the good works they need to do to justify (merit for) themselves Heaven (were the soul is actually pleasing to God).

As a former Catholic for 27 years I don't recall hearing that Mary saved us, although RC's here keep reminding me that I was not properly catechized.
