I take it you're not in full communion with them. That's the point I was making about someone else's claim regarding Protestants not deciding whether they are in communion with other churches or not. There are indeed Protestants who have closed communion. Another example, besides the ELCA, is the LCMS which is in fellowship with only certain synods.

Why are you working so hard to cause division and pit non-Catholics against each other?

You know what? If someone tells me they are saved and confesses that it's through faith in Christ and not of works so that no one can boast, I'm going to believe them. I am not going to call them a liar nor am I going to undermine someone else's faith.

It's going to hurt no one if I accept at face value what is told me, and it's especially going to hurt no one if someone makes a deathbed confession and I tell their relatives that because they professed faith in Christ, they are in heaven.

I'm not. I'm just refuting a false statement that was made.
