As a former Catholic and now a Christian, who graduated from a Bible college, I can say without equivocation that I would NEVER return to the Catholic Church. Should things ever return to the days where the Catholic Church has the temporal power to force conversion to them under threat of death, I would be a martyr. I simply cannot imagine going from having the assurance of my salvation back to a religion that only semi-promises God's grace will “help” to get me to heaven as long as I do my part and which really places the burden on me to merit salvation by doing works in order to keep that grace.

Exactly...And as I stated, I don't believe a blood bought, born again Christian could turn to the Catholic religion...I can only assume that these Protestant preachers who moved to the Catholic religion were never saved as Protestants...And I can't imagine how they then could be saved as Catholics...But then they admit they can't be saved until after they are dead and judged...

*Snerk* Some one isn’t reading his Bible, but we knew that already.
