But that is what your argument is based upon, even if conjecture.

That is why, I said that I might not have been clear enough. I was, indeed, conjecturing, based on logical possibilities. However, that is not what the Church teaching is based on.

Let us cease arguing over such things and commit ourselves to prayer for the conversion of the MANY peoples who have no clue of what is coming.

But which places you at odds with RCs which interpret Rome as teaching Prots need conversion, while the feeling is mutual among evangelicals here.

There are Catholics who have their own misunderstandings about what the Church teaches and why. That is one of the reasons that recent popes have called for a new evangelization...beginning with those in the pews. The Church actually teaches that those who have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior and are trying to follow Him ARE my brothers and sisters in Christ. I have very good friends who are Evangelicals and we have no problems praying with/for one another. We understand that we have some differences but we don’t focus on that. We focus on the Lord, Jesus and try to be attentive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As I have stated before. THAT will become vital in the next few years. Gee...it’s actually vital NOW.

Those of us with ears....need to hear. We need to humble ourselves before our God and let HIM heal the differences. There are millions who need to really HEAR the Good News because of what is ahead of us.

But Catholics teach to come to 'Mary' for conversion (to your religion) while we pray and teach as the bible does to come to Jesus for salvation...Can't be much unity there...

This is the "poorly catechized" explanation again, which impugns Rome as a teacher or her students as characteristically dull, but i think the majority understand what she effectually conveys, which is contary to the conservative RCs.

I will try to remember you next time an RC denies this, yet which testifies to the changeability of Rome.
