“Is there any other item which should be on the list of things that must be accomplished fro a Catholic to obtain Salvation?”

Ever try that with a Protestant? I have. First, they tell you all you need is faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Then when you press them they might admit that the sinner must be contrite and repent of his sins. Then when you press them a little more they might admit that a firm choice amendment of life is probably in there too. Then if you ask them if they must believe Jesus is divine, that Protestant might not know what to say because the obvious answer is yes, but many Protestants are not so sure about Jesus’ divinity or if that is necessarily a part of “Lord” for Jesus. Then if you ask the Protestant is someone can lose faith in Christ and be saved, he stammers and starts looking for a quick exit. Usually they evade the question by insisting that someone who was “really saved” would never lose faith or commit a serious sin. When you point out examples of people who have done such things the Protestant will insist those people must not have really been saved in the first place.

My answer for the same question is exactly what Mary said at Cana: “Do whatever He tells you.”

If that is not enough for you, then you have much to learn about God and yourself.

“You Catholics claim to know your religion better than any Protestants on FR, so please, make this list complete so we readers don’t miss anything vital, essential, absolutely required, for salvation as a Catholic.”

Do whatever He tells you. That’s the whole list.

So you have nothing to add, just a neediness of assaulting Protestants? If there is something you would like to add to the gracious list Petrosius offered, please do so. There will be plenty of time to massage egos and spit at people on other threads in other discussions, where you can fulfill your needs.

Great post. The matter of salvation cannot be reduced to a single Bible verse.

“If you love me, keep my commandments.” —Jesus

Good advice!!



 

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
