She was opposed to the premise in the Protestant belief that if you were not healed by Jesus from whatever ailment it was because of your unworthiness or some failure on your part that did not deserve healing.
What she announced to the Protestant was that there was in fact Redemption in their suffering.
They were joining their suffering with Christ.
So therefore, it didn’t much matter whether healed or dying they were with Christ and there suffering was joined to the sufferings of Christ Himself in the Agony, Death and Resurrection.

Protestant belief

So it is yours and Mother Angelica's opinion that if you were not healed by Jesus from whatever ailment it was because of your unworthiness or some failure on your part that did not deserve healing. Is this correct? If so, it should be easy to show that all Protestants believe this. Here is a link to the Book of Concord. http://www.bookofconcord.org/ While Lutherans don't usually like to be referred to as Protestants, I waive my objections. Go to the link, find the reference to the above teaching and I will give you a symbolic bow. If you can't find it, then you must disavow your statement I know what I Know! And if I were you, I wouldn’t dismiss me so quickly.

What she announced to the Protestant was that there was in fact Redemption in their suffering.

Another reason to avoid Mother Angelica, there was only redemption in Christ's suffering and death and resurrection.

She also thought whatever religion you were was good enough.

"If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we are converting. We become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are. ... What God is in your mind you must accept" (from Mother Teresa: Her People and Her Work , by Desmond Doig, p. 156, as quoted by Dave Hunt, Global Peace and the Rise of Antichrist , p. 149).

Oh? That's a "Protestant" belief? Pray tell, show us the doctrinal statement of whatever church advocates that.

What she announced to the Protestant was that there was in fact Redemption in their suffering.

Merely her opinion unless you can show us from Scripture that suffering is redemptive.
