[Mark17]

And most of all, I want you to know Christ and have eternal life and assurance of your salvation - based on *What God Said* and Christ.

I only know of a few Catholics who have any assurance of salvation. You, me and the others addressed here. That is one of the many reasons we are ex Catholics.
I don’t know why so many millions don’t want any assurance of salvation, when it is readily open to all, but if they don’t want any assurance of salvation, that’s on them. It is up to them to seek the truth. 😀😆😄👍

It’s probably more than that bro. How many Catholics have heard the Gospel?

I only know of a few Catholics who have any assurance of salvation.

Actually when Hugo Chavez and Ted Kennedy RCs are basically promised salvation thru the merits and power of Rome, and some semblance of faith, then RCs may have the widest assurance road of salvation, leading to damnation in reality.

Since only real believers have and will realize the promise of eternal life, (1Jn. 2:25) then Catholics cannot lose what they never had. But I do see believers as believers being warned of recanting their faith, and forfeiting what it appropriated, as explained here .
