Are you now saying Roman Catholics do have assurance of salvation?
One can have assurance of salvation if one
does these things:
if ye
do these things, ye shall
never fall:
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

The way you've posted this means the maintaining of a believer's salvation is incumbent upon what the believer does or does not do. The burden is now upon how "good" the believer is.
If that is the case, how much "good" does one have to do?
How does one know they've done enough?
How does one know they've done the right things?

One can have assurance of salvation if one does these things: if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: What?
Where are the Sacraments?
The hyper dulia of 'Mary'??
The adoration of SAINTS???
