Your comment: “Receiving Christ is the ONLY requirement for salvation. Christ, not the church, saves.”
As Catholics, we receive Jesus Christ in the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
I hope you don’t die in mortal sin and lose your salvation.
As Catholics, we have the Sacrament of Reconciliation to forgive our sins before we die.
Christ wants us as individuals to join together as His Church and as part of His Body (like the bond of marriage) to pray and help each other learn to love God and our neighbor.
The sacrament of reconciliation did not die for you.
The sacrament of reconciliation did not shed its holy blood for you.
The sacrament of reconciliation was not the sacrificial Lamb of God bearing ALL of God’s wrath, condemnation and judgment for ALL of your sins on the cross so that you could be completely forgiven and justified from all things.
Christ and Christ alone did all of those things and only through him are you saved and justified forever. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” 1 Timothy 2:5.
Some ritual your or some church made up can NEVER save you or anyone else. Adding anything to Christ for your salvation is heresy and false doctrine and twice cursed (Galatians 1:8-9).
You can find NOTHING in the New Covenant of the Bible that says the sacrament of reconciliation can save you. You are steeped in false doctrine.
The Word of God says that regardless of what your church says, if you’ve received the person of Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are saved. If not, you are lost.
Got a verse or two?
Maybe a good, solid tradition?
