Also, I eat meat on Friday which is banned by the Catholic Church based on tradition.

tradition has nothing to do with eating meat on Friday, it was a church rule and did not apply in every country.....it was an act of penance to bring us closer to God....minor inconvenience at worst.

But Catholics view it as a “work” do they not.

That’s part of the problem with the Catholic belief system.

Too many rules not based on the Bible.
