Precisely. And that's a real shame. Because we are all going to be judged by that gospel. Rom. 2:16. Being lost in a Catholic corn maze will NOT be an excuse.

OLofob, you don't appear to understand: you are not merely "wounded" in your sins. You are DEAD in your sins. Your works are dead, your "following Christ" is dead, your prayers for the dead and living are dead, your prayers to Mary to intercede are dead, your sacraments are dead, your rosary recitals are dead. And it's only the gospel of the grace of God that will give you life. That's the "love of Christ that saves."
