Nice try but no cigar..I thought they were nuts, I had never heard a "teaching " on it never read a scripture on it, I heard the phrase but nothing more. there was no seed planted*grin*..I was raised an RC..work your way to salvation

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.

I was an unchurched Catholic.....for many years.....I was completely 'in the world'. I was not trying to be deceptive..trust me I was completely indifferent to the concept of God..moving quickly to a complete denial.

I would not lie about that ! I was not looking,seeking or wanting God in my life.

At first I tried to reconcile my "new creation" with the church of my birth.Actually for a couple of years..But I decided one day that I could not pretend to be something I am not.So like you I left.
