To: Salvation
Not a Catholic here, but with a Ph.d in Theology from a Jesuit University and with profound respect for the Catholic Church. Also, I attend a Catholic Church. My 2 cents is that all those who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be saved, regardless of denomination. Many of these have unfortunately been taught false preconceptions about the RCC through no fault of their own, and harbor no innate hostility towards the Church. Theirs is a situation of ignorance, yet in their hearts they feel unity with all those who have true faith in Christ. This is something which I feel Catholics would do well to understand. IMHO the Universal Church transcends any particular denomination.

Those who trust their own perceived or hoped for merit, earned through works or otherwise, will not be saved, regardless of denomination.

Agreed; forgive them for they know not what they do.

Why do you persist with this false representation of yourself??
Or do I have to post the threads where you admit this?
