You’re embarrassing yourself.

“Catholic belief on salvation — we are saved by GRACE ALONE — not in conjunction with anything else — and that is where we differ from Catholicism, as I think you well know.”

The Catholic Church has always taught that anyone who is saved is saved by grace alone. http://www.ewtn.com/library/ANSWERS/GRACALON.HTM

I bet you’re going to continue to embarrass yourself.

“I bet you’re going to continue to embarrass yourself.”

No — I’m leaving that honor to you alone. You have owned the field on that one.

So it’s your official position that one cannot lose one’s salvation, and that one can KNOW for certain that one is saved and it is not incumbent upon one to help save oneself through “sacraments”? If that’s truly your position, you’re the first Catholic I’ve come across who believes that salvation is secure and based on grace and faith alone.

That would be grace alone on God's part thru works on the Catholics' part...I think we all know that...
