John 12:47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

The Judgment seat of Christ is a judgment of our works, not for salvation. Only the saved are before the Judgment seat of Christ and that is only for rewards for works done.

Besides the prayer to which I was referring was this.......

Third Novena Prayer ( 3rd. Saturday)

O Mother of Perpetual Help, thou art the dispenser of all the gifts which God grants to us miserable sinners; and for this end He has made thee so powerful, so rich, and so bountiful, in order that thou mayest help us in our misery. Thou art the advocate of the most wretched and abandoned sinners who have recourse to thee: come to my aid, dearest Mother, for I recommend myself to thee. In thy hands I place my eternal salvation, and to thee I entrust my soul. Count me among thy most devoted servants; take me under thy protection, and it is enough for me. For, if thou protect me, dear Mother, I fear nothing; not from my sins, because thou wilt obtain for me the pardon of them; nor from the devils, because thou art more powerful than all hell together; nor even from Jesus, my judge, because by one prayer from thee He will be appeased. But one thing I fear: that in the hour of temptation I may through negligence fail to have recourse to thee and thus perish miserably. Obtain for me, therefore, the pardon of my sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance, and the grace to have recourse to thee, O Mother of Perpetual Help. 3 Hail Marys.

Fearing Jesus put in the same category as our sins and demons. Nobody needs to or ought to fear Jesus. THAT is a warped and twisted view of Christ.

That Mariology stuff and those prayers to Mary is just sick.

"Only the saved are before the Judgment seat of Christ and that is only for rewards for works done."

Not so. Read Matthew 25:31-46. Read especially the last two verses:

"Then he will say to them, ‘I tell all of you with certainty, since you didn’t do it for one of the least important of these, you didn’t do it for me.’ These [unrighteous] people will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”

He's definitely dealing with both the sheep and the goats.

[Grateful2God]

Does not Revelation state that Jesus will return to judge all men? Catholics believe that we are judged in particular, that is, one-on-one when we die; Jesus' return to us as in Revelation is what we refer to add the General Judgement.

[Iscool]

That is a disgusting Catholic prayer...

[Grateful2God]

God is merciful and just. It is up to Him to judge, for only He can see a person's soul. I as a human, Adm grateful for the Salvation and Mercy of Jesus. I ask for the help of the Holy Spirit to try to lead a life according to God's Teachings through His Church. I owe Him anything I can say or do for His greater honor and glory and the good of souls, including my own. I am sorry when I fail, because God is worthy of the best I can give Him. I go to Confession with the priest in persons Christiand am given grace to help me do better. It's more difficult to speak to another person, than to simply say, "God, I'm sorry about _____", but it's worth it. I believe. Believe as you choose.
