Does that mean that whatever evil you do (once you have been saved) that you are automatically guaranteed a spot in heaven?
Is that what you believe?

boatbums, I’ve been looking for your answer to post 3344 but seem to have missed it. Did you give me an answer? If not, what is your answer to the question?
Because in the current post you are sounding very anti-Catholic and posting in a not very charitable manner. You are stating untruths as facts. That is not cool. You forget which entity protected the OT and wrote the NT. Why on earth would you think that any Catholic teaching would go against the very Bible that came through the CC?
We as Catholics understand that our separated brethren are not at fault because for 500 years you have been taught falsehood. And after so many generations many of the posters here do not even believe in what the first Protestants taught. In fact, if Martin Luther came back today, he would not recognize Protestantism.
Though you do keep protesting. lol
This is interesting:
Pat Robertson: Divorce OK over Alzheimer’s
(AP) Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson told his “700 Club” viewers that divorcing a spouse with Alzheimer’s is justifiable because the disease is “a kind of death.”
During the portion of the show where the one-time Republican presidential candidate takes questions from viewers, Robertson was asked what advice a man should give to a friend who began seeing another woman after his wife started suffering from the incurable neurological disorder.
“I know it sounds cruel, but if he’s going to do something, he should divorce her and start all over again, but make sure she has custodial care and somebody looking after her,” Robertson said.
The chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network, which airs the “700 Club,” said he wouldn’t “put a guilt trip” on anyone who divorces a spouse who suffers from the illness, but added, “Get some ethicist besides me to give you the answer.”
Most Christian denominations at least discourage divorce, citing Jesus’ words in the Gospel of Mark that equate divorce and remarriage with adultery.
Terry Meeuwsen, Robertson’s co-host, asked him about couples’ marriage vows to take care of each other “for better or for worse” and “in sickness and in health.”
“If you respect that vow, you say `til death do us part,”’ Robertson said during the Tuesday broadcast. “This is a kind of death.”

Ironically, my response was just the one above this one of yours. Please take a moment to read it so you can understand what I believe about your question. My post to which you are referring, never names Catholicism, did you perhaps recognize it anyway? I had hoped that your questions were asked in a sincere manner, but now it appears your only purpose in asking is to have another reason to mock and disparage. I had hoped better of you seeing as you have been on Free Republic longer than I have. I take a lot of time to give an answer to anyone who asks me of the reason of the hope that is in me. I will certainly be aware of your seeming "uncharitable" tactics the next time you ask me a question.
