If you think Christianity is purely a private affair between yourself and the Lord, you completely miss the fundamental basis of Christianity.

You think the Lord owes you nice treatment for your good behavior? On what basis? Since when does the Lord owe you anything?

The Catholic Church is ready to help you out of your works-based confusion, whenever you’re ready.

The fundamental basis of Christianity is Christ dying for our sins. My redemption is based on accepting him as my Lord and savior. It is not based on my neighbor's relationship with God, nor is it based on my Country's relationship with God.

I never said either thing.

The Catholic Church is ready to help you out of your works-based confusion, whenever you’re ready.

It's always good advice to seek the guidance of the Church in times of confusion.
