As a former Southern Baptist minister, now pastoring a non-denominational congregation, I would agree with their assertion that there is only one way to the Father - Jesus said it was, "by me." The Roman Catholic looks to the church as the dispenser of salvation via the sacraments. St. Peter holds the keys, as it were. There are born again (saved) Catholics, but it would be in spite of their faith, not because of it.

Can I have your opinion on
#43?

The left's problem with Christians, be they Baptist or Catholic or of whatever stripe---is that they are Christian.
The author brazenly exploits Catholic/Baptist differences in the left's crusade to do away with all things Godly and of the West, all things Judeo-Christian. This includes, of course, things like natural rights, just as one example.
These people are equating liturgical differences WITHIN Bible-believers with differences Christians and Jews have with PAGANS, CULTISTS AND BARBARIANS who call their feral lifestyle of rape and plunder, "religion."

From my point of view, Southern Baptists are more gnostic than Christian.

Actually, the Roman Catholic Church thinks nothing of the sort, but of course, facts are of little interest in denominational warfare.

You hit the nail on the head...

"There are born again (saved) Catholics, but it would be in spite of their faith, not because of it." So instead of "by faith alone", this is the "in spite of faith alone" method of salvation, huh?
Yet another reason to steer clear of you Protestant types with your "Lesbian snake handling ministers" and who knows what else.
BTW, just teasing ya.
