God bless you sir.
You have said that your thoughts of varying amounts of salvation are your opinion. I will double the amounts of Guinness offered.
Great is your reward in Heaven? So is everyone else’s. Heaven itself is greater than anything that we can possibly imagine.
Jesus was concerned about the little children. We’d like as many of them as possible to go to Heaven, as well as the greatest of the justified elect.
We don’t believe in a completely works based salvation - never said it, never claimed it, never will. But we believe that there are a number of conditions to be met, not just heartburn. :)
Yes, I was just referring to the logical conclusion of such an interpretation of that particular verse in Matthew. If I was representing Catholicism to someone else I would say "grace plus works". I hope that would be fair. :)
