Everything you all take credit for God could have accomplished on His own.

It’s GOD who is sovereign and rules and reigns and provides and protects.

HE would have done it somehow.

Yes He could've. In fact he could have saved us all without the need for Christ, the 2nd person of the Trinity coming to Earth as man. But He didn't. He chose to assume humanity to unite us with His Divinity

That act, echoes through eternity. It's why Lucifer and his followers proclaimed non serviam . Raise man above us pure spiriitual beings? Never.

Humanity has a role to play in salvation history. I know this isn't shared with the TULIP crew but its true nonetheless. The Catholic Church is God's way of doing that. So when we "take credit" as you put it, all we're doing is glorifying God's Divine plan which includes our separated brothers and sisters.
