It’s called the gift of Faith. It is by Faith that we are saved, and it is by Faith that we know what to believe.

I don’t see the purpose of having multiple instruments of salvation, it would seem that one would do. But in case there is confusion, the true Church is distinguished from false churches by four marks; it is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. Any decent Catholic catechism would explain precisely what those terms mean.

I hope this helps.

But what is your basis for assurance that Rome is the one true church?

It’s called the gift of Faith. It is by Faith that we are saved, and it is by Faith that we know what to believe.

That is simply superficial. Faith in something must be based upon something.

the true Church is distinguished from false churches by four marks; it is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. Any decent Catholic catechism would explain precisely what those terms mean.

So your assurance that Rome is holy, catholic, and apostolic is based on what the Catholic catechism says?
