The reason I added that part about Protestants’ being closer to the Catholic view than they realize is that I know the general Protestant view is *not* “I’m saved so now I can do what I want.” I apologize for having been so unclear.
OK. I wasn’t aware of that.
That is pretty much the general view of FRoman Catholics on these threads, that Christians think that way, and it has been countered time an again, For years.
I just didn’t expect a Catholic to think differently.
Sorry.
