There is far more Scriptural support for the Rapture than the following RC beliefs:

Mary ever virgin

The Immaculate Conception

Praying to Mary

It is necessary to go through Mary to get to Jesus for salvation

One must be devoted to Mary to be assured of salvation

And last but not least!

wearing a man-made piece of cloth called the Brown Scapular will keep you from the eternal fire.

The poster of the thread has been shown numerous ECF and beyond, prior to the nineteenth century, discourses on the Rapture. The Truth is not what the poster has as target. I suspect there is a book by the poster somewhere and this is a tactic to induce purchases.

The earliest dealing with this issue, other than Jesus introducing the event and Paul dealing with it in more specific terms, is the Pseudo Ephraim (https://www.pre-trib.org/pretribfiles/pdfs/Ephraem-OntheLastTimestheAnt.pdf).
