I know a few who are as faithful to Church Canon as they can humanly be. Just a couple; My neighbor, who should have became a nun when her husband died, and my cousin who is a priest. The faithful are out there...but getting harder to find.

Well, therein lies the problem. If the Roman Org. would teach that there is no rescue in works, they would not produce folks who "try to get to heaven". The Scriptures clearly teach that by no works will a man ever be justified...only from the gift of grace. That is how Abraham was saved, that was how Paul was saved, that is how we must be saved...not by being "faithful". Tragically, these folks are not as faithful as they think...which is precisely the problem. As Paul quoted from the OT, "there is none righteous, not even one". Unless one is persuaded that only God is the One doing all the rescue them, their works are dead. But, Rome teaches that by good works a man may be rescued...a thousand miles away from truth.
