your comment: “May God peradventure grant you “repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.” (2 Timothy 2:25)”
Your opinion of the Catholic faith is in error.
Faith is necessary for salvation. Faith is a gift of God which enables us to know and love him. but living in faith is not possible unless there is action on our part. Faith is therefore a relationship with God as well as an engagement with the truths that he reveals. Faith is both the act by which we accept God’s word and the content of what he has revealed to us.
To the extent that many reject Christ’s truths and follow man-made false teaching, their faith will be questioned when Christ judges us upon our death.
Paul cautions Timothy about the moral depravity that is rampant among false teachers. 2 Tim 3:1-19
More mere argument by unsubstantiated invalid refuted assertion.

After so much patient instruction from Scripture and reason you still do not get it. You have it in reverse, the cart before the horse, for action are a result of faith, not what work faith. You only do things - from speaking to acting - because of what you believe, from what food you choose to what surgeon you might choose. "I believed, therefore have I spoken." (Psalms 116:10) Read Hebrews 11.

Indeed, and Catholics both testify to sanctioning immorality far more that those of the class you who malign, and the widespread occurrence of it even among prelates preceded the needed if imperfect Reformation, and abound in your church today, which manifestly considers even proabortion, prohomosexal public figures as members in life and in death.
Yet you would have us leave our conservative evangelical fellowships to become brethren with them as well as you, and be part of the most manifest deformation of the NT church. No thanks. And as said, your bombastic argumentation itself an argument against being a Catholic.
