I will not deny the regneration brought by the Holy Spirit. As psalms says "Salvation belongs to our God"
I was dead. I was deaf and blind The spirtually dead walking ! That was me..Then just as He breathed life into Adam,He breathed life into me....
Matthew 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that save a wretch like me.."
First, you lead us to believe you were a non-believer. Then you say God "drew you in" one day, and now you were born and raised a Roman Catholic.
And yet, you deny a seed was planted in you? Either way, I'm just glad you found Salvation through our Lord.
BTW: you cannot "work your way" to Salvation. It is a gift, freely given from God. It's there for the taking. There is no "working" for it, only accepting. The fact that the Catholic Church has taught "works" for years doesn't make it right. I know, I was born and raised Catholic myself. I stopped practicing 7 years ago, when I found the truth.
