Incurable ignorance. A non-christian, without access or reliable access to the teachings of the Church or other Christian community, but still living a righteous life, without ever partaking of the Eucharist or Baptism et-cetera, can and will probably be saved. This is the Catholic stance.

Catechism of the Catholic Church 847 Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience – those too MAY achieve eternal salvation.” (emphasis mine)

. . . “This is the Catholic Stance” doesn’t make it true without actual scriptural support.

The Church did not come out of the Bible as all Protestant organizations do; rather, the Bible came out of the Church. During the first Christian century, the Church wrote what centuries later became the New Testament. She formed the Bible when she was nearly 400 years old. Catholic beliefs are supported by Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium (the teaching authority of the Church).

I AM, after all, LDS. The problem I have is that I am prohibited from displaying the Christian one. Thus, displaying the LDS avatar would be an admission and an agreement that I am NOT Christian, and I won’t do that.

Christianity, like Judaism, is a monotheistic religion… Mormonism isn’t. But I am no defender of CARM!

Observation: We’re far away from the theme of this thread.

Peace be with y’all.
