Well, will you trust me regarding their motives? I used to be one of them. They think the Church is the Whore of Babylon and they’re trying to save us from it. I know, it’s stupid, but bear with them. Their intentions are good.

We’ve refuted their non-arguments point by point and it still isn’t enough, so let’s let them be. Like I said, we’re not here to be the best debaters on Earth (although I’ve regularly whipped the pants off many, many others like them here on FR over the years); we are here to be the most loving people on Earth.

There are many lurkers who read these type threads that will silently judge us my what we write here, so let’s be good examples of Christian charity. We’ve had our say, they’ve had theirs, nobody has changed their mind, so there’s no point in going on and on about it. The Truth is out there; all we can do is pray that our separated brethren come to know it, as we have.

I respect your point of view, but imho, the truth is always a goal worthy of pursuing.

We’ve had our say, they’ve had theirs...

When the example is our say about how salvation is attained v. their say about salvation is attained, well, I would agree with you.

We part company when the example is what THEY CLAIM the Catholic Church teaches about attaining salvation v. what the Catholic Church ACTUALLY DOES teach about attaining salvation.

Hah, we already HAVE the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, without all the Mariology, nonsense about baptism being salvific and all the other extra-biblical stuff you folks carry around on your shoulders. Don’t worry about us, B-Chan. You best be concerned about your own heresies in your church.
