The difference, as I understand it, is that an evangelical of the "Once Saved, Always Saved" variety, would say that once you're saved, you're good to go, no matter what you thoughts, words and deeds subsequently may be. You can stop believing, stop praying, and stop walking in the way of the Lord and still be saved: Blessed Assurance.

What Catholics fail to understand is that even the best Saint in its stockpile still deserves to go to hell...The only way any of us could deserve heaven is to become completely sinless...But that won't work either...Because we were born in sin...

Rom 6:1  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 
Rom 6:2  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 

There's the answer but Catholics and many others don't accept what they are reading...The truth is far beyond the comprehension of those not born again...

You'll notice Paul DID NOT SAY, Why shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therin?
Paul said HOW shall we....And the answer is, we shall not live any longer therein...How's that possible, you say???

Rom 6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?  (Not into his life...Baptism doesn't give us life)...
Rom 6:4  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 
Rom 6:5  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 
Rom 6:6  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 

We no longer have a body of sin...

Rom 6:7  For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Get it yet???

Rom 6:8  Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 

Rom 6:9  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 
Rom 6:10  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 
Rom 6:11  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

This is how we will end up at the 'Bema' judgment seat of Jesus Christ and not be penalized for any sins we committed...The record of those sins will be burnt up...

You're incorrect.

Read the writings of the Saints. They freely and continuously admit that they are not worthy; and that the only reason God chose them for anything, was that they were such obvious nobodies, that it would prove all the merit and worth belonged only to God.
