This is strictly a Catholic problem. We true believers in the Word of God know we are saved. Anyone that has any doubt does not know Bible doctrine.

Apparently, neither do you.

In Matt. 7:21 - all those who say "Lord, Lord" on the last day will not be saved. They are judged by their evil deeds. And, in Luke 8:13 - Jesus teaches that some people receive the word with joy, but they have no root, believe for a while, and then fall away in temptation. They had the faith but they lost it.

Scripture further demonstrates the possibility of losing Salvation. For example, Rom. 8:24 - for in this hope we were saved (but, again, why "hope" if salvation is a certainty?) More importantly in 1 Peter 1:9 we learn that you obtain the salvation of your souls as the outcome of your faith. Working out our salvation in fear and trembling is a lifelong process.

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e] 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[f]

Do you folks still have the sin of presumption or did you throw that out along with respect for life and the duetrocanicals?

Amen brother. I would hate to have to go between confessions in doubt of my salvation. Actually, the way it works, you could only feel comfortable during that little time while you're saying your penance of 10 Our Fathers and 5 Hail Marys. Once you're done, you're back to your sinful nature and on your way to being unsaved again.
