Now that's making it personal, jo kus, and I know you are better than that. (Also, when hurling an insult, it's best to spell it correctly.)
God gives salvation to whom He will according to His unmerited, free grace, not through men's good works. I'll skip the catechism and let's both reread Ephesians 1 & 2.
The term "ignorant" (sorry about the previous spelling...) means that you were not aware of the Catholic teaching on the subject. That is clear - and I have posted you paragraphs that you may look through at your convenience. They were not meant as "hurling insults" - as you noted.

It is strange that you say that, because you post from your own catechisms more than any other Protestant that I know... We believe that the catechisms are a summation of our faith and are indeed taken from the Scriptures and teachings of our respective traditions in interpreting those Scriptures. As such, I will overlook your comment, since I believe we would agree on the utilization of a catechism and you just may not be taking your own use into consideration.
I pray that you have no hard feelings towards me - we both feel strongly about our respective positions.
