Heck, I remember quoting verbatim Ephesians 2:8,9 to a Catholic priest family friend and he said, “That sounds Protestant to me.”! I’m not so sure even a priest could “interpret” what he may not even have heard before.

No, you couldn't rely on a catholic priest to come up with a correct interpretation for hardly anything. I wouldn't trust one. If dude hasn't even heard of Eph 2:8-9, he can't be trusted. Praise the Lord we are ex Catholics now.

It sure sounds like he didn't recognize it.

Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV)

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
