Do you know ANY catholics who have assurance of salvation? I don’t know any, though there might be one or two, here and there. You know I live in the belly of the beast. Most of the Catholics I talk to, are very afraid to die. What does that tell you? See you in the clouds bro. 👍☝️👊
They can't.
If they claim they do then they are told they have committed the sin of presumption which instantly disqualifies them from that salvation>
What a Catch 22.
So they spend all kinds of time trying to convince people that they are not really saved, just like they are.
I know when I was Catholic and a friend's sister got saved, we just hated it. She was such a goody two shoes, showing off how spiritual she was and mad about her arrogance that she thought she was so good that she would get into heaven.
And jealousy was behind all of that feeling and thought. I wished I could live a good enough life to get into heaven and knew I couldn't so we were angry and gave her the worst time about it.
