“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.

There is no "sin of presumption." Flee from the idolatry and lies that Rome fills your head with.

If God has given you faith in Christ, then rejoice like Paul rejoiced and declare that you, too, know whom you have believed.
