Didn't you just get done stating people can be saved who aren't Catholic? The REFORMATION was a Divinely-ordained event that took decades to bring about drastically needed changes in the Roman Catholic religion - something even Pope Benedict admitted.
I don't believe anyone who is earnestly seeking the truth and to know Christ will be denied it - no matter what religious tradition they come from. God is in the mercy and grace salvation business, NO religion can cause the souls to be lost of those who diligently seek it - even cradle Catholics!
By golly BB, I believe you are onto something here. I choose that option 😂😇 After all, one of life's greatest pleasures, is being able to choose, therefore I choose not to belong to any works based religions, of which there are many. 🙊 I see heads exploding. Some people need to get used to it. I did not take swimming lessons, so I won't be swimming the Tiber in this lifetime, not now, not ever. Can I have an amen on that? 😱
Lots of people who aren't Catholic are saved and NO, the revolution was NOT divinely-oriented....it was a serious attempt by Satan to damage the true church....the revolution had little if anything to do with any changes within Catholicism but rather confused many people who left the church and put their immortal souls in jeopardy....The Catholic church is very clear about what it teaches concerning those who deny the truth in Christ.....and it isn't pleasant.
