You can repeat a lie enough to believe it yourself!

The Roman Catholic cult does not represent the ecclesia! The ecclesia are the "called out", not those "sprinkled as babies" and indoctrinated into legalistic mumbo-jumbo!

Paul never talked about a Roman Catholic church. He did write a letter to Christians at Rome... and included all those who are part of God's true church. It is not an exclusive club with fancy waiters in costumes! God is a Spirit.

Romans 1: 1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— 2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. 6 And you also are AMONG those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. ...

Romans 8: ... 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Speaking for myself, you've just convinced me. I'm now a fervent "sola Scriptura" believer!

:) Sorry... just kidding!
