Now, honesty (or knowledge of your Rome's dogma?) test: what does the church of Rome ADD TO that statement as requirements for salvation ("...Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for my sins so that I may be saved")?

I answered it in length (which to everyone else is considered dialogue), but apparently you like "dialogue" in one word sentences:

Nothing.

At length:
RCs believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God
RCs believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins
RCs believe that because Jesus Christ died for our sins that we can enter heaven if He judges that we can.

You are right though - this is not a dialogue. A dialogue is an exchange of opinions and ideas. I give my opinions and beliefs. You, like some self-appointed all-knowing professor, come back and tell me that my beliefs are wrong. You even have the nerve to "test" me. So the "dialogue" is only half-way, and in this case its coming from the RC end only.

Who are you to "test" me on Catholicism? Please provide your credentials professor.

Credentials: see above, at least twice so far. See my web page, read "Your Host." Do your own homework.

If that's your answer, you're either a liar or not a loyal RC and should leave the sect immediately.

This is neither rocket science nor arcane, mystic lore. The difference between RCism and Christianity is the word "alone." RCism affirms faith, grace, the Bible, in a formal way. Christianity (i.e. the Bible) says that the only way to salvation is by grace ALONE, through faith ALONE, on the basis of the work of Christ ALONE, as we learn from the Bible ALONE, so that all the glory goes to God ALONE.

You can't do dialogue, don't blame me. Honesty is essential.
