Salvation is not of tradition of men..it is not a building or a pope ..salvation is not a piece of bread

Salvation is a mighty work of the grace of God..

I hope you are pleading as hard to have the gospel preached to the heathans ...many of your number think they are fine prayer partners.....that shows a total lack of discernment.

salvation is not a piece of bread

No Christ is our salvation and he has the incredible humility to come to us under the accidents of a piece of bread in order that we might have eternal life.

John 6:54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.

Do you think it is a coincidence that after this teaching that many disciples could not bear and left Him that Jesus identifies Judas as a devil? Was not Judas' loss of faith in Jesus initiated by the rejection of His doctrine of the Eucharist - the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

St. Paul also sees this as a sin worthy of damnation:

1 Cor 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
30 Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep.

And of course he is writing to people who have at one point repented and believed, but he doesn't seem to see that to be sufficient to avoid judgement.
