To: netmilsmom; mgist
You didn't answer my question, but I'll answer yours.

Only God knows if mgist will go to heaven.

But if she does (which I certainly would hope for) it will not be because she knelt before statues of saints; or performed good works which are as "filthy rags" to God; or believed in "another Christ;" or venerated and prayed to, through, for, by (insert the preposition of your choice) Mary.

It will be in spite of those errors.

"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36

Only God knows the heart for certain, and the spirit that works within.

"Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -- Acts 4:10-12

>>You didn’t answer my question<<
Why yes I did....

“I don’t claim manifestation about anything.”

>>Only God knows if mgist will go to heaven.<<

Fantastic. That means nothing you say will make it otherwise. She believes Christ to be the person who saves her, so do I and that’s that for that!

This agrees with the Catholic Church.

...or performed good works which are as "filthy rags" to God...

Faith without works is dead.

...or believed in "another Christ"...

That term alter Christus does not mean what it has been contorted and misrepresented to mean, as the Catholic Church does not teach that each priest is some fresh new Messiah equal to Christ.

...or venerated and prayed to, through, for, by (insert the preposition of your choice) Mary.

Thank you for your own personal interpretation of Scripture.
