You make very good points.
Catholics are indeed sinners... and the Clergy entrusted with the Church are sinners to a higher degree.... We don't go to Mass because we are good.... we go because we know we aren't.

But this got me thinking... given your disdain with Catholics- and I am not faulting you here, the hits just seem to keep coming for us... - but with regard to the Protestant ideal of denying a cleansing fire of Purgatory....
won't you find yourself shoulder to shoulder with these same Catholics in Heaven if our earthly sins are dismissed upon death??

None of us have a problem with Catholics in Heaven. Pointing out faulty doctrine is meant to help more experience the grace of God not less

Some no doubt.

No, you go because your religion tells you it's a mortal sin, if you miss mass, and will go to hell until that mortal sin is confessed to a priest. Your religion scares you into attendance.
