Salvation

Sure! How Is A Catholic Saved?

Thank you for illustrating the childishness I was talking about.

Do you not recognize the early church fathers or the first 1,500 years of church history? If not please explain where the New Testament came from. It is not childish to wonder your position is it? I find your comments lacking the spirit of charity. For the record I am in union with The Church and believe she brought us scripture and continues in her authority to this day. If you wonder what I or any Catholic believes, The Catechism will have your answer.

Be careful about suggesting that one look at the catechism to determine what “any Catholic believes”. You would be surprised what Catholics believe and how many could care less about what is in the catechism.

Hey All!

I’m just a bit confused on what exactly the Catholic Church teaches on Salvation. Could someone please summarize it for me? I know that Jesus died for all sins and that it is by his dying that we get into heaven, but how do we explain to our protestant friends about mortal sin, and how we can lose our salvation if we die in the state of mortal sin?

Bible references would be helpful.

Thanks and God bless!
