“Well, vlad...if you believe that teaching the Gospel of Grace found in the Scriptures is a cult AND teaching folks to pray to Mary for salvation is the truth, then we will simply wait and see who is correct.”

No, we won’t because you are saying or implying (”If”) that I believe things no one really in fact believes. If you want to accuse me of something, accuse me of something I actually believe or have done.

“The believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ will stay on this side of the Tiber and the Mariolaters can stay over there with you.”

So you’re accusing me of worshiping the Virgin Mary, is that what you’re saying?

What they say about Catholicism says more about their own faith than it does about ours.

"So you’re accusing me of worshiping the Virgin Mary, is that what you’re saying?"

No, I am saying that Mariolatry is an insidious part of Catholicism. The poster who penned this is not an outlier, but a mainstream adherent to Romanism.

"Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,"

(?Mary protects?)

" implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you,"

(How exactly does one fly to a human person in heaven?)

"O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,"

(so petitioning is prayer, correct?)

"but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen,"

(Well, of course, 'Amen' follows prayer. So, Catholics pray to Mary...game, set, match).

Pure, unadulterated blasphemy.
