"How do you know you are of the elect?"

Protestants would make the following change:

Spontaneously developing a devotion to Mary Jesus is a good sign.

A devotion to, -- in fact, worship of, -- Jesus is required of all Christians. But we know that not all who call on the Lord's name will be saved. A devotion to Mary is not required. This is why it is a sign of exceptional faith.

Is there a problem with showing love (devotion) to another person besides God? We are commanded to love others. I don't see a problem with expressing love for another and following the example of the saints who have successfully gone before us. However, this is now getting off topic, and I am already discussing this issue on another thread...

Regards
