Wow, three times? Thanks for taking the time to answer, but I just don't agree with your interpretation. Let me say it again. If you wait till your last breath, to see if you are going to make it to Heaven, well, all I can say, is good luck with that. I have no intention of waiting till I take my last breath. It's a 💯% iron clad guarantee that someone will end up in Hell. I am not going to take the chance.
I disagree, that my infant baptism left anything on my soul. That is just Catholic opinion, that I disagree with. I have already been judged at the cross, and when I stand before God, to be "judged," it will not be to determine if I am saved or lost, but to determine my level of reward. If I am not mistaken, that is called the bema seat.
I have complete, total, 💯% assurance of my salvation, right here and now, even if some might think that is the sin of presumption. I am perfectly willing to take that chance. Perhaps we will NEVER come to an understanding, so I guess we will have to agree to disagree, agreeably. I hope you come to know the peace of God the way I do. 👍

Galatians 1:6~9: "I wonder that you are so soon removed from Him that called you into the Grace of Christ, unto another Gospel. Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ but though we, or an angel from Heaven, preach a Gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema. As we said before, so now I say again: if anyone preach to you a Gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema."

The original Gospel came directly from Christ through His Apostles. All of the Apostles had been raised in a Jewish tradition with the Jewish Scriptures as was St. Paul. Jesus then made the connections for them showing how He Himself fulfilled those Scriptures. The One, Holy, Catholic Apostolic Church is the one that Christ instituted in with and through His Apostles and Disciples.

By accepting this new Gospel, born some 1500 years later, the Gospel that you readily admit is totally different from the one you were raised on, brings you under that anathema.

May God have mercy on your soul and the souls of those who have corrupted you. As St. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 5:6, "Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven (another Gospel) corrupts the whole lump?"

St. Paul goes on to say in verses 7&8: "Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. (Catholic) For Christ our pasch is sacrificed. Therefore let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."
