Now, since you're pretty new here, there are several memes that are repeated regularly here at FR. One of them comes from a typo someone made long ago. Instead of saying "serious", he wrote "series" and it became a regular joke. There are other such memes and maybe you will see them eventually.
I've been here long enough to remember the days when the website was so immature that if a poster left tags open, then the next post would inherit those tags and an admin would have to step in and clear up the mess. Funny! I haven' thought of that for a long time.
I've seen your posts and, in my view you are stuck in a religion that leads people to hell. I am not saying at all Catholics are going to hell. I know some who understand grace and are only engaged in the kind of work that James describes. BUT these people are not following all the baggage that the RCC throws on its adherents.
Here's why: Catholicism is a religion based on works. "Oh!" you scream "NO!" But I have first-hand experience with your "church". It adds works to your faith in Christ and thus renders your faith to be useless. I compare it to what Paul said about Jews who were continuing in their own efforts to follow the Law of Moses (e.g. circumcision). Your church is FULL of work requirements that are added to your Creed. Deny it if you's like. I don't care. The list of added salvation requirements is long, starting with all your "sacraments", death without any unconfessed mortal sins, and includes a host of other required ritualistic observations.
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? (Galatians 3:1-3)
and
For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” Galatians 3:10-11
I want to be clear:
If a person holds to the official Roman Catholic understanding of salvation, he or she is not saved. Despite their vigorous affirmations, Roman Catholicism does not truly hold to salvation by grace through faith1.
I won't reply to whatever you write. I already know what you think. You've said enough.

I know you said that you wouldn’t answer, but do you believe works of the (Mosaic) Law are the same thing as “good works”?
