This is ironic coming from the group that sneers at faith alone as *easy believism*. A Catholic can sin all they want as much as they like as long as they live and at the end, just make a confession and the priest will forgive their sins and give them a Catholic funeral and it’s all good.

Can anyone say *hypocrisy*?

"Can anyone say *hypocrisy*?"

St. Dismas -- a.k.a. "The Good Thief" -

Deathbed (or in this case, crossbound) conversions. I don't think they're to be sneered at.

That's why we should keep praying for people. There's the hope that even the very worst, at the very last minute, would come to Christ.

It's not really all good. The lost soul is just that - lost. They can confess to some priest all they want the act is misdirected. Unlike what their current Pope says there is only one way to the Father and that is through the Son, not Mary, not a priest, not an institution. Faith Alone in Christ Alone is the only way to be saved.
