“This is why the Roman Catholic Cult fails to have saving faith in Christ”...

This is incorrect because this is NOT the Church teaching at all!

The Roman Catholic Faith DOES teach saving Faith in Christ:

Our Catechism specifically sates that “believing in Jesus Christ and the One who sent him for our salvation IS NECESSARY FOR OBTAINING THAT SALVATION.” (ccc #161)

The basis for the teaching is scripture: cited:

Mark 16:16; John 3:36; 6:40.

“The Cross was ALL JUDGMENT”.

This is an opinion and not supported by scripture:

Romans 11:22 - it is clear that salvation; even for a BELIEVER (one who has faith) can be lost by sin.

For believers, our faith is proved by our actions. That is what Charity is - faith WORKS through charity. If it doesn’t, then we don’t have faith. IT IS BOTH.

Romans 2:5-8, 13

We call it the Gospel.
