Correct.....Which is why they will never accept the truth presented about Peter, their Preisthood, the Pope without these there's nothing there.
They have made the Pope/Mary/Priests and leadership their God IMO. No different than other organizations who have a leader and co-horts the membership follow.
You know when I began looking closer at catholic doctrines and the beliefs it's members adhere to I never would have imagined possible that which they believe and practice....in fact I did try very hard to understand...it's been an eyeopener. I use to think it was just all fluff and such....but that the Gospel of Christ was clearly central. I was sooo mistaken. And the posters here just continue to affirm catholicism is far from the truth which Jesus intends we know.
“Jesus' teaching on the separation of the sheep from the goats is based on the works that were done during their lives, not just on their acceptance of Christ as Savior. In fact, this teaching even demonstrates that those who are ultimately saved do not necessarily have to know Christ.” [http://www.scripturecatholic.com/salvation.html#salvation-I]
Anyone who doesn’t disavow that statement is surely not saved.
