I'm not a Protestant ...

I'm Catholic.

Christ alone can save us.

We can lead others to Christ, by our witness, testimony, and example.

And then Christ saves them.

Did we have any part in their salvation?

So much similarity yet parties on both sides criticize the other when we have so much to do. Why does my resistance to following Catholic dogma and traditions make Catholics feel I am a heretic just as it is wrong of Protestants to criticize Catholics for their choice in executing their faith when we both believe in the one true Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

I know you are Catholic, AB, as I also am.

I was just tweaking a little, and Always Right has come back to let me know that I should have gotten his point.

I am certainly in agreement that we need to lead others by our example, testimony and witness. Forgive me, AB, for reversing your order. I do think that example comes first. After that, the testimony and witness come across as not just words but deeds as well.

I only wish that Catholics would be more committed to making their faith known. It was the example, testimony and witness of a Catholic who was the instrument God used to bring me into the Church.
