I know a few born-again Christians who absolutely believe that they can sin as much as they want as long as they ask God for forgiveness (but with intent to sin again).

I know Catholics like that who say they'll just go to confession, blah, blah, blah.

unlike the born-agains, NO Catholic was ever taught that you could do as you like and just go to confession. Instead they are taught that, unless there is SINCERE contrition for ones sins, confession is not effective. Unlike the born agains, Catholics do not believe that because Christ died for our sins, He removed all obligation from us to repent and reform.

I don’t know any like that, but I tend not to get into arguments about Catholics not being real Christians with other Catholics :D

If I meet one though, I’ll be sure to update my “anecdotal evidence” list. I’m not being sarcastic, I really don’t like Christians who behave that way, regardless of denomination, because it’s blatantly against the Bible. When any Christian behaves like that, it gives us all a bad name.
