What if Christ asks you, directly, "why did you reject My church and turn your back on the Eucharist which I gave you as a gift of Myself"......I won't have to answer to that question......you will.

I disagree bro. You already told me I didn't need the sacrments, and I agree with that. It is the only thing that you and I agree on.
I didn't reject "His church," I reject your church. The two are mutually exclusive.
Salvation isn't in some church, whatever it may be. There are some saved and lost people in many churches.
It is nice to be my own pope. You should try it. You'll like it. If someone has no assurance of salvation, that's on them

Of course you disagree, you had the truth and chose to reject it....that's on you.The Sacraments are outward signs, instituted by Christ, to give Grace....and they do. Of course there are saved and lost people in every church, but Catholics are NEVER lost because they are Catholic, they may become lost if they stray from Christ's chosen path.

All Protestants want to be their "own Pope", but it never works. If everyone got to do their own thing as far as salvation, or for that matter, anything, then there would no longer be a difference between right and wrong or correct and incorrect. But, of course there is....you don't set up your own traffic laws, moral standards, matters of faith, and if everyone did, there would be chaos (Protestantism)....oh, that's right...there is.
