You have now descended into more blatant false accusations as well as irrationality. Rather than any misunderstanding at all being clear on this subject, you have utterly failed to show any at all on my part while it is I who has substantiated both Catholic as well as Biblical teaching on Purgatory.
And as for born again at baptism, that is not Scriptural since Scripture teaches and shows that it is the faith which is expressed in baptism and following the Lord that appropriates the washing of regeneration, "purifying their hearts thru faith" (Acts 10:43-47; 15:7-9) and infants (which id when most Catholics are baptized) cannot and need not repent and believe with all their heart, which are the Scriptural requirements for baptism. (Acts 2:28; 8:36,37)
Moreover, the idea that such Catholic effects regeneration makes a mockery of Scriptural regeneration with its profound basic changes in heart and life (such as I realized, praise God) considering that this is not what baptized Catholics manifest, as instead your church is overall spiritually dead. As I found out experientially.
And as "Your admission to believing in false theology is worrisome," it is your cognitive dissonance (or lying) that is worrisome, since the only admission to believing in false theology was to being a Catholic. And which I was prayerfully led out of and into evangelical fellowship by seeking to obey and serve the Lord of Scripture, thanks be to God!
Thus the call to you is to come back to the true faith, that of the NT church in which distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed.
Why don’t you learn what Catholic doctrine is on baptism and other theological matters from true Catholic sources before you spew out weak attempts of intellectualism by spewing out opinions of anti-Catholics on what we believe. Catholicism is the equivalent of upper level college while Protestantism is equivalent of grade school. Get curious, learn what truth it not some hodgepodge of blathering originating literally from a lunatic who had no real touch on reality.
You obviously did not learn about Catholic doctrine if you are unaware that baptism cleanses us from original sin and confirmation is our born again moment...both are intertwined perfectly to bring people to God as God created the sacraments to be. Heck, Protestants don’t actually believe in an active heaven where spirits interact with earthly spirits...it’s lunacy. Come home to the true faith daniel1212. Get well...
