In junior high we used to have this saying, "He's not conceited, he's convinced!". Those who have been so indoctrinated, so deeply, would take a miracle of God to budge loose from what they are absolutely convinced of.

I would hope that any person sincerely seeking the truth of God's word will look up each of the so-called proof texts you have provided and see for themselves how convoluted and twisted each of them have been to conform to your religion's doctrines. Those who are "past hope" will only see whatever they are told to and will never grasp the infinite beauty, majesty and heartbreaking wonder of GRACE that our Lord has so richly poured upon us.

Is it completely beyond comprehension that someone could disagree with you, NOT be indoctrinated, have NO NEED to “budge loose” from what they are absolutely convinced of, and STILL grasp the infinte beauty, majesty and heartbreaking wonder of GRACE that our Lord has so richly poured upon us?

Is every Catholic convoluted and twisted to “conform” to what reformers THINK is our religion’s doctrines? What about those who come to the Salvation of Christ through the Catholic Church by the leading of the Holy Spirit? Do you deny that is possible?

"Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.

And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 2 Cor. 5:17-21.

Here is our great commission.

Read the scripture for what it says, pay attention how it says it and before you know it, you will be Catholic.
