What I wrote is true.
Some, but not all Roman Catholics, believe in the false promises of the apparition claiming to be Mary who has told Roman Catholics:
I offer this quote for your consideration from the Sisters of Carmel [bold emphasis mine]:
In the year 1251, in the town of Aylesford in England, Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite. She handed him a brown woolen scapular and said, “This shall be a privilege for you and all Carmelites, that anyone dying in this habit shall not suffer eternal fire.” In time, the Church extended this magnificent privilege to all the laity who are willing to be invested in the Brown Scapular of the Carmelites and who perpetually wear it.
The Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel has promised to save those who wear the scapular from the fires of hell; She will also shorten their stay in purgatory if they should pass from this world still owing some debt of punishment.
This promise is found in a Bull of Pope John XXII. The Blessed Virgin appeared to him and, speaking of those who wear the Brown Scapular, said, “I, the Mother of Grace, shall descend on the Saturday after their death and whomsoever I shall find in purgatory I shall free so that I may lead them to the holy mountain of life everlasting.”
The Blessed Virgin assigned certain conditions which must be fulfilled:
Wear the Brown Scapular continuously.
Observe chastity according to one’s state in life (married/single).
Recite daily the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin OR Observe the fasts of the Church together with abstaining from meat on Wednesdays and Saturdays OR With permission of a priest, say five decades of Our Lady’s Most Holy Rosary OR With permission of a priest, substitute some other good work.
Pope Benedict XV, the celebrated World War I Pontiff, granted 500 days indulgence for devoutly kissing your scapular.

In other words....you gotta work to get out.
You are such a hater.
Most Roman Catholics don't like it when this is presented to the public and they are forced to either agree or disagree with the apparition or the New Testament.
And to be clear...NO WHERE in the New Testament is this wearing a piece of cloth to avoid the hell-fire ever taught. It originated some 1200 years after the New Testament.
Maybe before you flip the Catholic bashing switch; you may consider taking the time to learn what it is that you hate so viscerally! P.S. 'purgation' simply means purification. How can a person who admitted to being sinful (why else would you need a Savior) presume to be sinless before almighty God! Although you might be saved, you are NOT sinless. Signing off...
Perhaps because that is what the New Testament teaches.
9For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,
10and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority; 11and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ;
12having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
13When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,
14having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Colossians 2:9-14 NASB
Yet that's EXACTLY what Catholics claim about Mary.
Although you might be saved, you are NOT sinless.
That is true.
However, our faith is counted as righteousness in God's eyes and He can therefore relate to us as if we had the sinless perfection of His own Son, whose sinless perfection is credited to our account.
We are legally declared guilt free and freed from the penalty of our sin. We have received a judicial pardon when we threw ourselves on the mercy of the court instead of trying to pay off ourselves a debt we are incapable of paying.
