Please give some examples of the red part of your post… I’m not familiar with this.It would seem that for a Protestant to be saved it would be extremely hard since most of their churches teach some or many mortal sins are excepted or even good so doesn’t it seem the only way they could have salvation is through ignorance ??
Remarriage and divorcePlease give some examples of the red part of your post… I’m not familiar with this.
Thanks,

I find the question too insulting to reply.It would seem that for a Protestant to be saved it would be extremely hard since most of their churches teach some or many mortal sins are excepted or even good so doesn’t it seem the only way they could have salvation is through ignorance ??
Can’t say as I blame you.I find the question too insulting to reply.
Perhaps, but it does rather tempt me to suggest that the only way that we sinful and ignorant Protestants can be saved is through the grace of God.I find the question too insulting to reply.
Are you forgetting the parameters for a sin to be “mortal?”It would seem that for a Protestant to be saved it would be extremely hard since most of their churches teach some or many mortal sins are excepted or even good so doesn’t it seem the only way they could have salvation is through ignorance ??
Remarriage and divorce
Contraception
Denial of the real presence in the Eucharist
Gay so called marriage
Would be just a couple
Yeah… If there’s one thing I’ve learned this past year, it’s that Catholics and Lutherans have a lot more in common than we usually let on. We’re so used to focusing on the differences, that we always forget how we’re similarI find the question too insulting to reply.
Protestants can be saved the same way anybody is: by the grace of God on the cross through Christ. Ignorance is a consequence of a wounded creation and does not produce supernatural merit. Nobody is saved because of ignorance.It would seem that for a Protestant to be saved it would be extremely hard since most of their churches teach some or many mortal sins are excepted or even good so doesn’t it seem the only way they could have salvation is through ignorance ??
I agree 100%. It is getting tiresome to continually see such questions on CAF questioning the Salvation of other Christians, usually those that are consider Protestants. The question also show complete ignorance because it just lumps all Protestants together which is impossible to do. There is enough concern for Catholics that support a number of the issues Op listed instead of focusing on Protestants. I think we need to stop this nonsense on CAF.I find the question too insulting to reply.
Please do not paint all Protestants with the same brush. Some teach the real presence, but not transubstantiation. Many teach contraception, divorce, and gay marriage are wrong.Remarriage and divorce

Ignorance, sincerity, and genuinely being true to an informed and willing to be informed conscience.It would seem that for a Protestant to be saved it would be extremely hard since most of their churches teach some or many mortal sins are excepted or even good so doesn’t it seem the only way they could have salvation is through ignorance ??
Check up the section on infants and mentally disabled who can’t make a verbal/physical assent of faith, or even understand the term.I think most of us will be saved by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. I could be wrong though; lemme go check my notes.
Yeah; Protestants are pretty much mentally disabled or have the mental capability of infants.Check up the section on infants and mentally disabled who can’t make a verbal/physical assent of faith, or even understand the term.
Most Catholics are - have you seen the LA (W)REC(K)?Yeah; Protestants are pretty much mentally disabled or have the mental capability of infants.
Having a knowledge that Catholicism exists does not equate to belief in our doctrines or teachings Remember, these folks listen to their ministers teach that there is much wrong with Catholic beliefs, such as the primacy of the Pope, Marian doctrines, faith, etc. No wonder they have difficulty making the leap into our Church, after constant exposure to being taught how wrong we are.In order to be saved through ignorance… the Protestant in this case must have had never in his life heard not even a minimal suggestion for example that divorce is incorrect. Saved by ignorance entails full ignorance in the sense that** someone is so secluded from either civilization or the rest of the world that never ever in their life they have have a minimal suggestion re catholicism** or that their belief is wrong.
We are talking here about “invincible ignorance” or the idea that you can be saved by ignorance if it is through no fault of your own. And yes most priest and theologians will tell you that what catholicism considers to qualify under this ignorance is having no exposure at all from the idea of Jesus, sin, catholic church etc. If someone has had a minimal level of exposure then under this idea they are not ignorant because it stops beings through no fault of their own. Accordingto the church very few people qualify under invincible ignorance. Having difficulty to make the leap because of what you have been indoctrinated is not invincible ignorance because there is fault on your own. As I said probably the only people who qualify for this is people that have lived through their entire life isolated from civilization.Having a knowledge that Catholicism exists does not equate to belief in our doctrines or teachings Remember, these folks listen to their ministers teach that there is much wrong with Catholic beliefs, such as the primacy of the Pope, Marian doctrines, faith, etc. No wonder they have difficulty making the leap into our Church, after constant exposure to being taught how wrong we are.
You need to rethink this, that simply having exposure to Catholic teachings does not guarantee that God will give them the gift of faith to believe them. So they can still be ignorant, and God alone sees the heart.
