Another couple of interesting little disconnects with the "Sola Fide" (by faith alone) type of person (in general):

1. The act of your believing is a work. It is something that YOU must do.

2. The act of being baptised is a work. The vast majority of "sola fide" types subscribe to the necessity of baptism in water. (and, as for those who don't believe in water baptism, well...)

It's far easier being Catholic.

At least we have a playbook--the CCC!

Believing is not a work. The Lord Jesus did all the work for me. Baptism is a work. You are depending on your good works for salvation and I am putting my faith in what Jesus did for my salvation. Which one is really easier?
