[Dr. Eckleburg]

For about the millionth time, none of us knows the names of the elect, but we can be rightly confident in our own salvation if we have been given true faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior since that is what Christ says is the marker of our status before God.

Faith in Christ is a result of our regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Faith is a gift of God's grace to His own. We are saved by grace through faith.

"Be not afraid; only believe."

I'll trust Christ.

Nuh-uh. That's what CALVIN SAYS Christ says is the marker of your status before God. The word according to Calvin? Is that it? A crazy, ludicrous old man who took advantage of the fears of the gullible? Robot puppet is definitely the right characterization.

You said: I'll trust Christ.

I'll trust the Christ that I have created through my personal magisterical false interpretation of Holy Scripture, insuring He conforms to my personal world view.

Made it more accurate for you.

“For about the millionth time, none of us knows the names of the elect, but we can be rightly confident in our own salvation if we have been given true faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior...”

That sounds positively Catholic. We hope for our salvation through our faith in Christ.

Now, if I could only be assured that confidence is not pride. The sin of presumption is filled with pride.

You may make a decent Catholic yet.
