The problem is Catholics have faith in a different jesus. The their jesus does not save..he only makes salvation possible . They have faith in their church to save them, faith in its laws and sacraments and their ability to keep them all .. and then add to that works worth of salvation and merit.. and any merit they do not need goes into a bank for others or they can make a withdrawal from it

That is exactly what I was taught when I was a catholic, that Jesus simply made salvation possible, but it was up to me to work my way to Heaven, by leading a good life. My dad told me, that he thought he was going to Heaven because he had led a good life. I don't think it will cut the mustard.
