No, I was catholic and later came to saving faith in Christ alone - apart from rituals, and filthy works - and finally left when the Spirit enlivened the Word to me and I realized Rome did not teach the Gospel of Grace, but a religion of false works.

And since you have indicated you are not saved now, I simply do not believe your opinions about the Scriptures, since only the saved have the Spirit indwelling them.

Never-the-less, I wish you well and I wish you salvation.

Everyone is entitles to believe whatever the want. The truth or false beliefs.

Everyone with free will is able to accept Jesus and follow Him or reject the teachings of Jesus and His Good News.

Just so you know from the Catholic Catechism:

“He Himself (Jesus) explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.” Mark 16:16 John 3;5 cc 846-847

Going by your lack of knowledge of what tye church teaches, I would call it as much of an untruth as you stating you know the curriculum of seminaries.

You have denied christ by denying his words in john 6.

I wish you salvation, but first stop denying Jesus’s teachings

Your statement: “No, I was catholic and later came to saving faith in Christ alone - apart from rituals, and filthy works - and finally left when the Spirit enlivened the Word to me and I realized Rome did not teach the Gospel of Grace, but a religion of false works.”

So how long were you a Catholic and what (specifically) changed your beliefs?

You don’t indicate the basis for your beliefs, apparently protestant based on Luther and others.

You seem very committed to your beliefs, but it apparent to me that they reject some of God’s truths and don’t agree with the Bible.

I have siblings that are not practicing their Catholic faith and following non catholic spouses in protestant religions, and I am concerned for their salvation.

Many of us have fallen away from our Catholic faith and as we get older return to the Mass and Sacraments. You may wish to spend an hour before the Blessed Sacrament and just listen to God.

Pray that we all follow God’s Truth.
