You're right and I'm not at all surprised. I think what it really boils down to is they readily admit all of "us" are a lost cause and it's "us" that have hearts of stone, immovable to understand truth, but they are concerned about all those other possible readers who may not have made a decision yet. They are also "preaching to the choir" in an attempt to stave off any doubts and questions that may arise to the legitimate and Scriptural arguments we present. You have posted quotes from their own Pope's Bulls that forbid the reading, hearing and fellow shipping with those outside of Catholicism and we certainly know what they are afraid of. I mentioned someone "poisoning the well" earlier, and that IS what they are trying to do. "Oh, can't let anyone read THAT guy! Better stop 'em in their tracks before they click on that link and read it for themselves!"
I'm not afraid to read their links, are you? If it is the truth, we will receive it no matter who says it. If they are full of it, we'll know that too. That's what happens when you take the time to read and study and meditate upon the Word of God. The Holy Spirit brings back to our remembrance what He has illuminated in our hearts by this study and we need not fear the tricks and devices of the enemy of our souls. Thank you for all of your hard work. It has NOT been in vain and God will honor you because you honor Jesus Christ.

There has been no proof or evidence given, only reference
to other verses misinterpreted. Where is the “water” in the Protestant definition of “Born Again?” Our Lord said
you need water and God the Holy Spirit.
Mixing Protestant belief with a few quotes from Catholic writings to prove Protestantism. Riiigght. How about Baptism?
Show the Apostolic Fathers believed the modern “altar call” is Our Lord’s definition of being “born again.”
