Romanists keep trying to satisfy God under the law when Scripture clearly tells us that in order to be justified under the Law you must keep it perfectly. The Gospel, OTOH, tells us if we rest and receive Christ we will be judged by Christ's perfect righteousness. Then we follow God's law out of gratitude.Amen. And this goes a long way in explaining why ex-Roman Catholics are angry and frustrated with their previous church because they resent all the misdirection they were taught by Rome. Men are saved by Christ's righteousness, mercifully imputed to them, and not because of their own righteousness.

Yeah. Realizing one was duped for decades by folks purportedly closest to God leaves a real gritchy angst in one’s gut unless one determines to forgive constantly.
