I chose not to make this a caucus thread so it had better not turn into another perpetual virginity battle.

Then it’s time to get very serious about coming back to the Church.

You know, I try to respect the request of Legatus and not turn this into what's wrong with catholicism and you bring this.

As I've said on other occasions and will repeat again. I am a Christian. I believe Jesus died for my sins. I've repented and confess on an ongoing basis I am a sinner and ask for His forgiveness in accordance with His Word. I cannot save myself. Only Jesus' sacrifice on the cross can cleanse me of my sins...past, present and future. I have been baptized but I know that being baptized doesn't save you. It is faith in Jesus that does. I do the best I can to follow His teachings but, like Paul, I know I come short but I continue to press on toward the goal for the prise of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

I appreciate that.

Sounds pretty close to what I believe, and I appreciate that too.
