“Issue” with accepting the faith...it’s never been resolved so who cares. There’s an answer.

This is where your and many other Catholics main error is.

We accept CHRIST, not "the faith". There's a world of difference between faith and "the faith".

Putting your faith in your "faith" is not going to save you. Faith is the means by which we are saved, it's the mechanism through which we are saved. We're not saved by our faith in our faith when that is just another word for the church we belong to. We are saved by grace through faith IN CHRIST.

It's Christ who saves us. If your faith is in your faith, you are trusting the wrong thing. You need to trust a person, Christ, not your ability to have faith.

Amen. So few words, so much said. It sums it up well. Salvation is only found by “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith,” not the other way around.

May God bless your labor of love in him.

Peace,
