You are ignoring His clear statement…

“ Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.…

I believe.

I can tell you exactly when I came to saving faith as God opened my eyes to believe.

I can tell you exactly where I was.

One moment I was a Catholic, filled with guilt and heading to help, having never heard the Gospel of Grace.

In the twinkling of an eye, I was completely forgiven, saved from wrath, translated from darkness to light, a son of God the Father, a brother of Christ, sealed by the spirit, imputed with the righteousness of Christ, seated in the heavenlies with Christ, and so very much more.

I have eternal life.

Not that we hope we do.

Not that we believe in Rome or any other church.

Not that we follow rituals, take communion, wear beads, light candles, have idols, etc.

He said Believe.

If you claim to believe, but don’t have eternal life, you believe the wrong things.

Nor is the “Eucharist” required for salvation.

May you believe fully in Him and have salvation now.

Please read Catholic Catechism 846 about your salvation.

You state that you believe, but reject the belief in the Christ’s Catholic Church, the Mass, the Sacraments including the Eucharist.

Jesus told us there is more to salvation than just belief.

Jesus warned us against false teachers, but you are free to follow them, but you probably jeopardize your salvation.
