And here you are saying you don’t even know if you are saved!
“ The Catholic Church was founded for your salvation.”
And here you are saying you don’t even know if you are saved!
Christ died to save us.
Salvation is found in no church, nor does the Scripture say that.
Totally made up.
All false religions/cults claim their group alone can save and you must obey them.
Only Christ saves by saving faith.
And here you are saying you don’t even know if you are saved!
“What about Catholics who have left the Faith? Are they okay, or are they lost?”
Anyone who knowingly and deliberately rejects the Church will be lost. So it would be the height of presumption to say that someone who has left the Faith “is okay.” Now, it may well be that a person who left the Faith may have had such a distorted notion of what the Church truly is and what she teaches that there may not be culpability. Again, we don’t know. However, it may well be that they are culpable. And no amount of “church” attendance or prayer apart from the Church Jesus established, the Catholic Church, will get them to heaven if that is the case. One might even “deliver [one’s] body to be burned” (I Cor. 13:3), but it will “profit nothing” apart from union with Christ and his Church because it is only the divine life and charity of Christ in us that can save us. So we must take extremely serious anyone who has left the faith or anyone who is not in union with the Church because objectively speaking, (barring invincible ignorance, etc.) souls are on the line!
