>>That's a FALSE answer, wrong in itself and also falsely attributed to Catholicism.<<

Well, maybe you would like to clarify for us. Do Catholics believe that it's faith alone which saves or faith along with works?

Let me explain to you how Catholics believe we are saved (and this is all from the Bible):

A person might say, after studying all these Bible verses, "But this is so complicated! How can a person do all that?"

What you have to see is that "all that" adds up to one single thing, that is, being incorporated into Christ. That is how one attains eternal life, that is how one is saved: by being a member of the Body of Christ, you in Christ, Christ in you.

In this whole Universe, or shall I say in all possible universes or in all realms visible and invisible, there is only one safe place: and that safe place is "in Christ."

If that is what you mean by "Faith," then yes, it's by Faith. And all of these elements comprise this Faith in its fullest definition.

So now that with careful reference to the Bible I have answered your question, I have a question for you: what kind of faith saves? A living faith, or a dead one?
