That's how Catholics view Christ's sacrifice on the cross? That He simply "opened the gates"? Is this a view of all Catholics?

If it is it's a slap in the face of Christ. No wonder they can't be assured of salvation. We've got good news Catholics. CHRIST PAID THE FULL PRICE!! YOUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN!

[JPII Be Not Afraid]

So you mean all I have to do is say the words "Jesus Christ is my personal savior" and I am done? Really? You mean I don't have to worry about being Christ like, I can disregard every word He has said. I just say the words. Why I don't even need a bible, I said the words. I never have to worry about anything. I can sit in my chair and wait for me to die, because I said the words. Thanks everyone, I'm all set now, I said the words. I am going to Heaven!!

This is what your truth boils down to. Sound pretty silly to me.
