Actually, that’s not true. Catholics believe in works. Jesus believes in faith.

Jesus says do not do repetitive prayer. Catholics do the rosary.

You call your teacher father; the Bible says there is only one father.

You think paying money will get somebody out of this imaginary place called Purgatory.

You call Jesus down from heaven to sacrifice him over and over to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

You pray to Mary and dead saints. Jesus says the only way is through the father.

You ask a priest to forgive your sins instead of going to the only person who can forgive your sins

You have statues of Jesus and Mary breaking the second commandment.

Complete nonsense, but even if perfectly true, what is your primary point?

"Actually, that’s not true. Catholics believe in works. Jesus believes in faith."

Where in the Bible does it say that we can live sinful lives and still go to heaven as long as we claim to have faith?

“Jesus says do not do repetitive prayer. Catholics do the rosary.”

Yes. The Bible couldn’t be clearer regarding “vain repetitions”, and the Rosary definitely is that. There’s also something like the “Our Father”, I think, that is in the same category. What groups chant? Cults.

“You pray to Mary and dead saints.” You note that the only Mediator is Christ Jesus, and that’s true. But wait ... there’s more. Necromancy — all contact with the spirit world is expressly forbidden irrespective of the nature of the spirits concerned.
