I understand your point, but I do not deduce a conclusion based on the unbelief of folks. I make this conclusion based off of scripture.
I’m not attempting to rail on catholics, it’s just not my thing. I try to reason these things from what I’ve read from the good book.
I understand completely, been there, done that.
I found Acts 8:26-40 helpful on my own journey.
Blessings on you and yours.
