"So, why am I, and other former Catholics, being so criticized for having confidence that we are going to heaven when we die?"Because judgment is not yours and it defies logic and Scripture for anyone to claim that there nothing they could do to loose Salvation.

That’s not an answer.
Does baptism save or not?
It’s a simple yes or no question.
If it saves, I’m good.
If something can negate it, it doesn’t save.

Because judgment is not yours and it defies logic and Scripture for anyone to claim that there nothing they could do to loose Salvation. The judgment is God's and already declared. I just believe it and for that am castigated. The chutzpah, to think that someone actually takes God at His word and believes what He already declared.
John 10:27-29 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Fathers hand.
Call Jesus a liar if you wish. I'm not putting myself in that position.

And of course it does not defy scripture...
