Does Jesus save Catholics as well as Christians?

Sure. If they believe they are saved by grace alone, and not by anything they have done.

Jesus saves anyone who calls on His name for Him to save. It really isn’t about people or their worldly denominations. It’s about the Lord whose call to believe they accept.

This is where Wascally Evangelicals like me find themselves at theological odds with some others. We view church as Effect, not as Cause. But we also believe that for others to view church as Cause does not make it Cause, it remains Effect and remains subject to all the divine promises. I.e. we Wascally Evangelicals tell Catholics they don’t know how good they have it in Christ in spite of differences.

Do Catholics rely on faith alone in Jesus alone or do they need to "merit" with their own deeds? If they have to "merit" with their own deeds Jesus may indeed allow them to "merit" or not "merit" on their own.
