The Catholic Church teaches Works PLUS Faith get you into Heaven, NOT "Works Alone" get you into Heaven. An unrepentant atheist will NOT get into Heaven.
On the other hand, the Protestant reformation most definitely taught that Faith ALONE will get you into heaven, which is erroneous and contradicts 1,500 years of Christian theology. As I noted, its weird to think you can live as sinful life as you want and get an instant ticket to Heaven as long as you say you "Accept Jesus".
More and more protestants are now realizing that fact and coming around to accepting the Catholic POV.
You can disagree with it, but that's what's happening.
Still erroneous,s as explained in above posts as no works "get you into Heaven," but faith/confidence in the Lord Jesus who saves the repentant sinner who believes despite his unworthiness of Heaven effects obedience, which justfy one that he is a believers. Obedience is the credential of a Christian, with the believer being manifest by who he obeys.
On the other hand, the Protestant reformation most definitely taught that Faith ALONE will get you into heaven, which is erroneous and contradicts 1,500 years of Christian theology.
Contrary to what Luther himself formally taught as shown in post 98 to you. "Faith alone" refers to the faith that effects obedience being precisely what is counted for righteousness, but not that faith is alone.
And no wonder!!
2 Thessalonians 2:11-13
For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,

And even more Catholics are ditching the devil’s religion aka Roman Catholicism in favor of Jesus.
And a church that doesn’t enable kiddy diddlers.
Grace is not preceded by merit.
A man can be saved only when God shows mercy.
A man can do no good without God. A man does nothing good for which God is not responsible.
We are loved by God, even when we displease Him, so that we might have means to please Him.
