"The Catholic church clearly teaches the immortality of the soul and it’s eternal punishment in hell for dying in a state of sin."

Great, further evidence that self catechesis is no remedy for poor initial catechesis. What you posted does not mean an eternity of torment and physical pain, in "fire and brimstone", nor does it mean, as you posed, that the damned are "living in hell". It means an eternal separation from God, the greatest punishment is the consequence of damnation.

The Catechism repeatedly reinforces that Faith earns "Eternal Life" and that the wages of sin are death, the opposite of eternal life.

Now stop trying to tell Catholics what we believe and go figure out that convoluted mess that you believe.

You have provided neither Scripture nor Catholic sources to support your obviously erroneous viewpoint of Catholic church doctrine.

There is Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic church which teaches the immortality of the soul, which you’ve denied in your previous posts, and eternal punishment, which you’ve also denied in your previous post.

Your statements are at odds with the clear position of the Catholic church and the clear teachings of Jesus in the Gospels on the issue.

Every man his own pope.

YOPIOS and YOPIOTCOTCC.
