Roman Catholicism- I can earn my redemption; My good works must outweigh my bad works; What Jesus did was not enough; Salvation can be bought

That sound you hear is the sound of this guy's credibility being flushed down the toilet.

It is true and I and many former Catholics know that for a fact.

Roman Catholicism demands you do the works to *merit* (another word for *earn* your salvation, otherwise, it's off to hell with you.

A Christians will not go to hell. They are saved and hell is what they are saved from.

Salvation is dependent on the finished work of Christ on the cross. Anything added to it that a person must do is what one is trusting in to save them.

RC view (?): My good works must outweigh my bad works.

Is this not their belief? Faith + good works? If indeed it is, it differs significantly from "whosoever believeth in Him shall have everlasting life" which is faith in Christ's atonement alone.
