You did quote my "The usual Protestant interpretation says that the Holy Ghost is given all Christians directly. This is without warrant. We have the Holy Ghost inasmuch as the Church of the Apostles informed us", but you took it to mean that "promise of receiving the Holy Spirit does not apply to individual Catholics", and it does not follow. Perhaps I said it insufficiently clearly, since others misunderstood me as well, but I have nothing to retract. There is no scriptural evidence of the Holy Ghost received by individual Christians other than the Apostles and perhaps some other friends of Jesus directly. All who receive the Holy Ghost today receive it not directly but through the Church.
.Acts 2
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
