Claim – to receive what has been given.

Over and over? Salvation was already given on acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior. Do you not believe you were given salvation when you accepted Christ?

Name it and claim it is pushy and assumes that one is worthy. Claim is not to receive (passive), it is to acquire (active). We Catholics accept the will of God. We do not claim to usurp it or to manipulate it. We pray, we do not demand.

Certainly. We do not believe that we have a right to it or the prerogative to demand it. We understand that God freely gives us His Saving Grace. But if we sin, that is a condition in which we reject it. Therefore each time we refuse God, we must repent of it.
