So, you know for sure that you’re going to heaven when you die? You’re the first Catholic I’ve met who thinks that then.

talk to the other 2 billion or so, they'd agree with me.

The problem here is that not only do RCs censure evangelicals for their confidence of eternal life based upon the premise that this is presumption even to presently have that confidence and thus the surprise expressed by metmom, but by enlisting "2 billion or so" Catholics as being on your side (though you provided no source for that number) then you necessarily include the vast multitudes of liberal RCs - who even seem to make up the majority - that other traditional RCs reject as self-excommunicated. (I assume you are a traditional type RC.)

However, as Rome treats these kind as members in life and in death, and most of the many RCs i have spoken on the issue to expressed confidence of going to Heaven (usually because they are Catholic and pretty good), then you could be considered to be accurate if not for an apparently inflated number.
