Catholics know that the Church teaches that we will lose our souls if we die in the state of mortal sin.

Catholics therefore strive to avoid all mortal sin, and they know that they must properly confess any such mortal sins to be restored to the state of sanctifying grace.


How sad that members of the church of Rome cannot have assurance of salvation even though the Bible says probably 100 times that a person can have that assurance, by putting their faith in Jesus alone and the substitutionary atonement of the blood sacrifice on the cross, rather than trusting their own self-righteousness. You can never have assurance if your salvation is works-based, because you never know if you've done enough (earned enough heavenly points).

Catholics realize that unrepentant sinners won’t go to Heaven.

Just admitting that Christ is The Savior of the world means nothing if you don’t follow Him. Following Him means trying to be like Him. Jumping from bed to bed or being a thief is not a good occupation to have your grace of The Lord guaranteed to you. Don’t misunderstand me. Only sinners will go to Heaven for we are all sinners but repent not then go not.

You’re wrong and just repeating the old Jack Chick canards.

Look up what the Catholic Church, the one true church, teaches about salvation.
