Jesus is presently building His church, one soul at a time, and it’s name is *the Bride of Christ*, not *Roman Catholicism*.

No religious organization can claim to be THE church that Jesus said He would build.

If that were the case, then EVERY person who was Catholic would be saved, no matter what, and no one who wasn’t saved could ever get to heaven, no matter what.

The Pharisees thought that they had it in the bag because they were physically descended from Abraham, and Jesus shot that down pretty quickly.

It’s all about faith, trusting in Jesus alone, and not church affiliation, membership, or religious rites and rituals.

I wasn't even arguing about what might be called "Catholicism, Inc.", corporate hdq. Rome. I was talking about "the Church" as referred to in the Scriptures I referenced: in John and Matthew, Ephesians and Corinthians.

"No religious organization can claim to be THE church that Jesus said He would build... If that were the case, then EVERY person who was Catholic would be saved, no matter what, and no one who wasn’t saved could ever get to heaven, no matter what."

What the... Good gravy. Where to begin? I never said, implied, or thought any such thing. Isn't that called a "straw man argument"? Always refuting something the other person didn't say?
