Excellent reply, again. Thank you.

I am reminded again of the conversation I had with a parish priest over breakfast. The subject of favorite Scripture verses came up. I said mine was Ephesians 2:8,9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”

“Hmmm”, he replied, “That sounds Protestant to me.”

No lie, those were his exact words and it showed me that God's word read in context means what it says. We have no excuse for not understanding the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

he replied, “That [Ephesians 2:8,9] sounds Protestant to me.”

It is typical Protestant sleaze, to cite two verses out of the passage and cut the quote exactly where it no longer "sounds Protestant", at verse 10. That's your entire method in nutshell.
