I don't recall seeing your name in Scripture.

And if my name was named in Scripture, what about the rest of the world? That kind of reasoning would exclude the entire rest of the world. Or do you think God would have created a book big enough to contain the names of every single person to whom He made the promise?

And how would I know that was ME and not someone else with the same name?

That argument is so weak as to be laughable. Honestly, do Catholics ever think through what they spout out with as some kind of argument against Scriptural teaching?

By using *we* it gives me the certainty beyond seeing my name in print, that it includes me.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We = you and I

God is no respecter of persons, much unlike how Catholics like to portray Him.

HE is faithful and just. He will do as He says He will.

And if my name was named in Scripture, what about the rest of the world? That kind of reasoning would exclude the entire rest of the world.

That's my point: acccording to your logic: all "christians" go to Heaven. And that is not in the Bible.

I guess you no longer believe in Purgatory. Is that correct?
