Catholicism teaches you to get to third base, rarely teaching what you need to get to heaven. Many Romans come to fully trust Christ apart from works anyway. My father, for instance.
I’ve observed that Roman Catholics make great, joyful Christians when the light dawns about how to be sure of salvation.

And you and your dad are poorer for rejecting the Eucharist, the gift of Christ Himself which you reject, as did Judas. I suggest you read John 6. “Unless you EAT MY FLESH and DRINK MY BLOOD you have no life within you.” Does your church do that? It’s not a symbol. It’s His flesh and blood. Judas split after that. The only way you can be sure you have been saved is when you get to heaven. “not all who say ‘Lord, Lord’ will be saved.” In other words, people can fall away.
