Physician, heal thyself!

Where did the poster you maligned preach “salvation by works?”

You two claim to be Catholic, do you not?

I’ve read Catholic doctrine. It’s salvation by works. Pretty it up all you like, but in the end it’s still that you have to do good things in order to ‘earn’ grace, which in itself is a paradox.

On top of that, the repeated Scripture posts from afvet are used for repeated Catholic talking points AGAINST salvation by grace. I believe them in the light of St. Paul’s writings and all else Jesus said. If you don’t believe official Catholic teaching, I have no idea what you believe because you won’t tell me.

So either you believe in salvation by works, or you don’t believe in your own church doctrine.

So start explaining, or evade more and admit by implication that you have not a single leg to stand on.

If you DO believe in salvation by grace, why are you constantly talking up having to do good works or else?

Get to it. Bible is available pretty much everywhere. Tell me how I’m supposed to gain salvation and show me in Scripture where it is, especially in light of St. Paul’s repeated assurances of grace and not works.
