Strong Protestants become Catholic. Weak Catholics become protestant.

Off the top of your head, can you cite the Scripture reference for that? Thanks.

You lose again.

1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

“Strong Protestants become Catholic. Weak Catholics become protestant.”

Weak people - and this is everyone who is honest - come to the foot of the cross to Christ alone for salvation, with humility and gratefulness. They go to heaven.

Prideful, strong people, see no need for grace and Christ’s gift and insist on “working their way to heaven”, seeking their own merit. They go to hell.

Denomination has nothing to do with it.

As I noted earlier....the arrogance of catholicism.

Is pride one of those mortal sins ya'll believe can cause you to lose your salvation?

Hey, look it is....

Pride is the excessive love of one's own excellence. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12405a.htm

So based on catholic teaching are you now separated from God?
