The rot of the roman catholic cult goes deeper than I thought. These are all catholic saints with a few popes mixed in as well. These are all from the following catholic website.

Pay attention to the comments about how "impossible" it is to be lost for one who follows Mary; that confidence in Mary is a sure sign of salvation; that those who are devout to Mary will never be lost.
Also note in the first quote that it is Mary who initiates salvation for people...when she wishes. There are several in this category.
This would be in line with the fifth marian dogma of the catholic view of the role mary plays in our "salvation".
The honest student of the Word will recognize that you cannot find any support for any of these false doctrines in the Bible. And please, let's not try the appeal of "if you're following Mary you're really following her Son". That is such a bogus statement.
This is why Christians eschew the catholic cult claim to tradition. It gets you these kinds of lies.
No wonder they're pushing for the fifth marian dogma. The apostacy continues in catholicism.
Will any catholic disavow any of these claims??
