are you saying that no matter what you do....good works, BAD works, nothing at all....that because Christ died on the cross, everyone who believes that He did that will be saved??? YES!!!!

WOW!!!!! it is easier to be a protestant that I thought....the darned Catholic church makes us at least somewhat accountable for our behavior......

Satan will be excited to hear about the new rules because he not only knows that Christ died on the cross....he BELIEVES it

But he rebelled against God and denied the all supreme power of God. It’s like Catholics do today by claiming that they need to somehow “earn” part of their salvation. Even to the extent that if not enough is done in this life to “atone” for sins they are sent to purgatory to finish the payment.

Those who truly “believe” on the Lord Jesus Christ believe that He completed the payment for sins perfectly and no other “atonement” is needed.

Actually, it's easier to be accountable to the RCC than to God. A person can snow the church.

There's no snowing God. HE knows the heart. Talk about accountability.

And yes, it is easier to be not Catholic. The Catholic church makes it way too hard to be saved. God never intended it to be so hard for us.
