John Wayne did indeed die in a state of grace but as a Roman Catholic

For we are saved by FAITH through GRACE. GRACE comes from God, not a church. It's a personal experience with a sinner and His Savior. The sinner accepts JESUS into his heart, not a church. The Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life, not a church.

Then the new man, the new creature in Christ is the church - a new member of The Body of Christ and Jesus Christ is The HEAD - Christians are His Body.

[Natural Law]

"For we are saved by FAITH through GRACE."

I don't disagree with you. However, the quote was from Snopes.com.
