I think that’s an accurate way to put it. They really are starting from zero in so many areas of Christian Faith.
We talk about the problems the Church has in properly catechizing, but compared to what we see on here... well, at least Catholics know the creeds and what the words refer to.
the question is...do you know Christ? not just about Him but on a up close and personal level. Beause if you have that why dilly dally before idols and conform to rituals He never established for us?
.... And furter has He given you 'assurance' of the salvation He's given you ...that you will surely be with Him when the time comes to go home with Him. Because He said we can KNOW that with certainty.
