What must I do to be saved?

** How Is A Catholic Saved? **

Repentance and baptism (Acts 2:38 & 22:16 and John 3:1-21) and then following Christ, (John 14:15, Matthew 10:38, 16:24, & 25:31-46, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23 and Revelation 3:5) which is a lifelong journey and not the oversimplified “plan of salvation” as presented by some non-Catholic communities.

As for the Real Presence in the Eucharist. The New Testament is actually very clear. The Eucharist IS Scriptural

It’s the question they asked Peter on Pentecost and it still bothers me today, especially now I’m looking seriously at Catholicism. Can I have assurance of salvation or do I have to live with uncertainty?

To be saved one must do what God has commanded.

The Gospel by St Matthew 19:16-22
16] And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting? [17] Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. [18] He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness. [19] Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [20] The young man saith to him: All these I have kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?

[21] Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me. [22] And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.

I don’t think that Christ demands that we all give up all that we possessions. but that we are willing to do so for him if needed.

We are also told to belive in Christ and be baptized.

For me I was saved when I was Baptized. I am being saved as I strive to learn and live for God. I pray to be saved by God’s grace when my time on earth is over.

Christ sacrificed Himself so that I can have that hope.
