I enter into this subject very hesitantly. But nevertheless, what a person believes with respect to their gaining salvation will be the deciding factor in their attaining it. Adherence to written or spoken instructions from this or that source is good or bad depending on the source- and therefore tricky.
If one believes, as do I, that the only path to salvation is a faith strong enough to be charitable and to not summarily harm others, there is no need for polemics like those in the article. For me “The just shall live by faith” does not discriminate between Catholic or Protestant “faith.”
