The following is what ex Catholics(like on FR)are guilty of

Can. 1369 A person who in a public show or speech, in published writing, or in other uses of the instruments of social communication utters blasphemy, gravely injures good morals, expresses insults, or excites hatred or contempt against religion or the Church is to be punished with a just penalty.

Salvation is not in error since you can most likely come back

LOL. So what "just penalty" do you desire for those who have shaken the dust of Rome off their feet?

Will the RCC send them to bed with no supper? Burn them at the stake? Or maybe the RCC thinks it will withhold its sacrilegious sacraments from them. Which would proves once again that "all things work for the good of those who are the called according to His purpose" since God would then be restraining them from partaking in the idolatry of the eucharistic mass and assorted other inventions of Rome.

Salvation was wrong. Ex-Roman Catholics are not still Roman Catholic. Many are, by the grace of God alone, now Bible-believing Christians.

I believe, under Calvinism, it matters not a bit what church they belong to. They have no choice anyway, so it's moot.

Dr E””-LOL. So what “just penalty...Will the RCC send them to bed with no supper? Burn them at the stake? “”

I can answer this from experience after being a protestant for many years.

I contritely confessed my sinful error’s and was given a penance of saying prayers.The Priest said to me your sins are forgiven and welcome back dear brother.

I felt the burden lifted from my soul and never even once had the same inclination to the sins that seemed to be impossible for me to overcome.

My greatest sins became my greatest of virtues to the point they don’t exist even in my mind as temptations or thoughts

The Sacrament of Confession is Awesome -Praise Jesus!
