I started watching your videos shortly before I started going to Mass when I was interested in becoming Catholic. I celebrated my Confirmation yesterday and first Holy Communion. Praise God the Holy Spirit lead me home. Thank you and God bless.
@@carissstewart3211 Jesus said UNLESS If you don't do it then take it up with Jesus. Pul confirmed it in 1 Cor 10 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? (v.16).
The only thing I know is God judges us on what we know and what we don’t know. Personally, I think Catholics will be judged the most severely because we have the fullness of truth. We don’t have excuses.
Nope. With the fullness of the truth comes the weight of sin and the true battle with temptation and evil. As Catholics we are the sole target of the Devil because we are the closest to salvation. Prots consider themselves saved and don't fight against sin and temptation as there is no punishment for sinning. God will not judge us more severely because our cross was heavier. Prots choose not to have the fullness of the truth. It is everyone's responsibility to investigate the truth of the Catholic Church.
@@scottritz7520 Fullness of truth, what is that? Is bishops moving around child molester costume holymen truth? Is burning people to death for no reason part of this fullness?
If you are judged, you will be found guilty. The saved are not judged. Catholics will get their wish and be judged. Better get back on your knees befor that statue and maybe the statue will save you.
Yes, but today most Catholics don’t fight. We just try to justify sin so that we can continue doing it. We are often Catholic at Mass on Sunday, but not in our lives apart from that. True a real Catholic does fight sin and does bear a heavy cross. There just aren’t many of them. I do think more Catholics are waking up though.
Excellent video. Needed this today. I want to come home to the Catholic Church but all my family is anti-Catholic and since I'm living with my parents due to epilepsy and unable to drive since I don't have a driver's license I'm being delayed. I pray to God that he doesn't hold this against me as disobedience
@michaelbarry1664 I have tried. Spoke to them about it too early honestly. My mom went off on it's hypocrisy. After that, I wrote a 500-plus paper on Catholic dogma and church history. I used AI to help with research. All I can do is pray
I would contact your nearest Church. The priest can look for someone who may be able to drive you to and from Mass. All it takes is an email - here's praying.....
Q. 1164. How does a person sin against faith? A. A person sins against faith: 1. By not trying to know what God has taught; Invincible ignorance doesn’t apply to those who are ignorant because they don’t make an effort to know what God has taught.
@@catholiccrusaderfilms3974 Catholics dont use the bible, for good reason. It condemns the making and bowing befor images(statues)etc. Catholics cant do without graven(carved,engraved) images. They love them.
@@benjaminhancock9014 Note the part about invincibility ignorance at the end was my commentary. I should have used quotation marks for the part that was from the catechism.
It seems like a very all order to me... > after a lifetime of mortal sin, > after being proud of those sins (like Martin Luther) and arrogantly denying the need for absolution, > and after a lifetime of refusing the Eucharist... I know that God's mercy is infinite, but how can people who so overtly reject His Church be saved? It's beyond my ability to imagine, but nothing is impossible for God.
I'm not catholic but I go to the mass every Sunday. I think it is so freeing to be able to say God's judgment is not mine to know completely. Even though I can make judgments about the souls of others it seems like it only harms my soul to assume I know the destination of another person's soul.
There is no salvation nor remission of sin outside the Catholic Church. One could be invincibly ignorant of the Catholic faith, where at the bare minimum, they were baptized, believed in the Trinity and Incarnation (as per the council of Florence) but invincible ignorance is not an 8th Sacrament. Even if a Protestant (with the above qualifications) were invincibly ignorant of the Catholic faith, couldn't be invincibly ignorant of the natural law written on his heart, and since there is no remission of sin outside the Church, a Protestant could not be pardoned for violating the natural law.
From 1972 to 1986 I was Protestant. I was baptized as a Protestant in 1982. In 1987 I completed RCIA and became Catholic. I was Confirmed a Catholic in 1988. I graduated from St. Joseph in 1991. Then I went through some dark times had two strokes in 2016, had an encounter with Jesus in a dream, was told to return to Mass, and I did so in 2018. I even serve Masses again.
How can Protestants be saved when they didn't come on the scene until 1517 AD Jesus started ONE CHURCH - if your church was not started by Christ, then you are in the wrong church. The Church, St Paul says in 1 Tim 3:15, “is the pillar and foundation of truth,” Not the Bible. We know it is the Catholic Church because John the Apostle went to Antioch, converted a man named Ignatius, and made him Bishop. Ignatius got captured and sent to Rome to be eaten by lions. On the trip, he wrote to the Smyrneans, “Where the Bishop is, there is Jesus Christ, and there is the Catholic Church. 110AD
It’s interesting today because with so much heresy, people don’t know the history of the Church. And a lot of Protestants don’t even realize this. But, I’ve met some who do and are proud of Martin Luther (I pray they can remove their pride). Also, people would have understood fully what they were doing in the time of Martin Luther.
I don't believe a bit that it is fruitful to preach that non Christians _can_ be saved. Jesus taught that most people will go to hell. So we should also assume that as the norm, and not the other way around, when talking to our brethren (both protestants and Catholics)
@@slavwolf94 Believing in Scripture alone will not save you, that's a lie and a heresy. Sounds to me like you need to work on humiliation more. Being a true Christian means living a life of constant penance.
sounds to me you dont understand how salvation works....Galatians 2:16-21 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ
@@slavwolf94 Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves (James 1:22). If somewhat says he has faith but has no works, can that faith save him (James 2:14)? Faith without work is dead (James 2:17,26). Work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Phil 2:12). Therefore, faith alone does not save anyone, unless one lives the Faith, doing what the Faith teaches. Dead were judged according to their deeds (Rev. 20:13), those who have done good things, unto the resurrection of life, those who have done evil, the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:29). We are all judged by what we did during our short life on earth following/doing what the faith teaches and NOT BY FAITH, one of many false teachings of protestant churches.
Thank you once again for a clear, succinct and well organized presentation of this very essential information. You pulled it all together very expertly. I pray that our Lord continue to help others through your talent, and I thank you for saying "yes" to His call, and for His Glory.
Essential information. This guy is pushing a religion top heavy with graven images and pedophile costume holymen. Well, its your right to believe as you want. I agree with freedom of religion.
I think this is solid video. I agree with all the points made. I differ though in the application in a way. It is unrealistic to assume that most people go to heaven. Multiple Saints have taught about how hard it is for Catholic to enter heaven and we have all the sacraments and the truth. Protestants have a very serious disadvantage. It has been said that few Catholics are saved and even fewer Protestants are saved. This is not my personal opinion but I have read and been taught this multiple times and in multiple ways. Protestants often relentlessly attack the Catholic Church. Even when a solid Catholic shares truth, they still persist. They have a hatred for the Catholic Church. Some even admit to spreading what knew were lies about Catholics on purpose. I understand that not every Protestant behaves that way, but a lot of them intentionally set themselves up as enemies of the Church. I want everyone to be saved. In order to help people most effectively, we need very realistic about the situations they are in.
I didnt say, nor do I believe, most people are saved. In fact I said most will reject Christ. I believe most Christians will be saved. Most Catholics, less but the majority of Orthodox and still many if not most Protestants, a few none Christians of good will. Ive made this clear in other videos just not this one. We are not bound to believe most Catholics and even more Orthodox and Protestants will go to hell. Those " statements", though pius, carry no magisterial weight. And of course we have spe salve from Benedict 16th which says that most are saved through Purgatory. Again, no magisterial weight. We are free to believe what we like, so long as we dont say everyone is saved, or damned. I base my belief on the fact that in the parables of Jesus the servants are always shown to be half to more than half saved. 10 virgins. 5 saved, 5 lost 3 servants. 2 saved, 1 lost. Etc... There are all most 8 billion people in the world and only 2.5 billion Christians. If all Christians get saved, which will not happen, and everyone else is damned thats still the vast majority of people going to hell.
Good job! I’m not quite as hopeful as you on this subject for most Protestants, having been one. But, for a Protestant who has Catholics praying and sacrificing for them, I’m pretty darn hopeful for their chances.
Thank you for stating that Baptism makes you a member of the Catholic Church because there is only one Body/Church after all. Most people don't know that.

Too complicated: No salvation outside the Church = Its the prayers and sacrifices of Catholics that provide salvation to Non Catholics. Hence Fatima where Jesus changed the Rosary through Mary and commanded we pray He " Lead all souls to Heaven especially the worst" Also you can clearly say that No Protestant will go directly to Heaven. Purgatory will be mandatory to right their beliefs in regards to the Church, Mary etc

@@hyeminkwun9523 Yes, because those that loved them on Earth consider them in Heaven so they don't pray for them. that's where we come in or where we are supposed to come in anyway. Hence the addition to the Rosary with the Jesus prayer that applies to them when we say it

I sincerely hope this is the truth, because it is one of the best presentations I have seen about the matter of Salvation of non-Catholics and he says that most Protestants are saved. My heart is inclined to this because it shows the great Mercy of God. My conflict arises when I read some testimonies of the Saints, and I don’t know how to resolve this. May be there are atenuating circumstances in today’s society that did not exist when those visions by the ancient Saints occurred.
Mainly, the concept of the fewness of the saved. Were there more formal heretics in centuries past than today? Why would this be so? Not trying to make a point here, I sincerely don’t know the answer.
I'm Eastern Orthodox and my question is this. (Forgive me for bad wording) If the sacraments and confessions and all that good stuff in Eastern Orthodoxy is valid how are we guilty of schism?

You are preaching Imputed Righteousness nonesense. Such a statement would posit that man is merely saved by a forensic declaration that he is saved. Man is solely saved by the *infusion of grace* not Imputed grace. There is no sanctification without suffering, period. As Christ's passion merited the sanctifying grace that saves souls through infusion.
One thing we need to meditate on is this, All the Church Fathers were in agreement that, from Adam and Eve to the last judgment, that the vast majority of all who have lived, we be Damned! let that sink in for a while.
God can save anyone He chooses. And I am certain He wants to save anyone who will come to Him. The onus is on us, He's revealed and provided all that is necessary for our salvation.
God does not compel anyone to be saved. He leaves everyone free to choose Life or Death on their own free will (Sirach 15:17). God has provided everything one needs to be saved in His Church, founded on the Apostles and sent to teach to OBSERVE ALL HE COMMANDED (Matt 28:20). If one wants to be saved, one must follow and do faithfully what His Church teaches.
God absolutely can save anyone he chooses, however he also will not force himself upon us. And he certainly does want to save anyone who will come to him, however some will proclaim that they do or that they desire to follow Christ however they do not follow him rather they venture their own path while saying they are following Christ. “What do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he repented and went. And he went to the second and said the same; and he answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him; and even when you saw it, you did not afterward repent and believe him. (Matthew 21:28-32) Thus you will know them by their fruits. “Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ (Matthew 7:20-22) God provides all with the Grace necessary to find the path set by Christ and to follow it should we choose but this does not mean that all will follow it. This is why such an emphasis is put on knowledge and understanding, Because some are not on the path set by Christ but truly do believe they are following and as long as they are still walking parallel to Christs past than he will put you on the right path at the end but if you know you are not on Christs path and chose not to get on the right path than even if you are walking parallel to Christs path you have rejected his path and in doing so rejected him and he will allow you to stay on the path you chose. But only the path of Christ leads to Heaven.
John 21:25 [25]Now there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if each of these were written down, the world itself, I suppose, would not be able to contain the books that would be written.
I just want to make a comment on the statement of perfect contrition. If you have committed a mortal sin, you MUST go to Confession! Perfect Contrition is not a replacement of the Sacrament.
Well done, but the following needs to be said. All sin carries temporal punishment and this applies to everyone regardless of their ‘ignorance’ . A Protestant who is not fully aware that a particular action is a mortal sin may not be condemned for it but he/she still needs to undergo a temporal punishment for the sake of God’s universal justice. Catholics have recourse, through the Sacraments and the Holy Mass, to remit punishment, Protestants do not.
No, it would not. God already knows, he is not waiting to decide based on what you will do or not do. God does not come to know anything and then decide.
Meine Eltern waren nicht gläubig. Ich wurde nicht im Glauben erzogen. Jedoch hat mich der Glaube fasziniert. Anstatt zum Ethik-Unterricht bin ich in den Kirchen-Unterricht gegangen. Ich besuche gerne die Kirche und lese religiös inspirierte Geschichten wie "Dantes göttliche Komödie". In den letzten Wochen wollte ich mich dem Thema wieder annähern. Habe die Bibel gelesen (v.a. Neues Testament) und habe mit anderen Christen über den Glauben gesprochen. Auch habe ich gebetet und mir überlegt ob ich mich taufen lassen sollte. Daher kommt natürlich auch der Gedanke: in welcher Kirche? Man muss sich ja dann entscheiden.... Eines lies mich immer wieder erschaudern. Wie Christen über einander sprechen. Wie arrogant und besserwisserisch sich manche Menschen haben. Es macht mich traurig und lässt mich weiter weg vom Christentum mich bewegen.... man kann einfach nichts richtig machen. Ständig wird diskutiert. Ständig wird gehetzt und gelästert untereinander. Doch steht in der Bibel: Ohne Liebe ist sogar der Glaube nichts.

Suggesting venial sin as the norm is over generous. There is a difference between knowing something is a sin and agreeing that it is a sin. If one knows that the Church teaches that, say, divorce and remarriage, is a sin but disagree with the Church on that point, that is sufficient knowledge for mortal sin. And if perfect contrition is difficult to obtain as a Catholic strengthened by the sacraments, it cannot be easy or the norm for protestants. That is to say that protestants love God more.
Perfectly outlined and explained. I don't entirely disagree with the 'most protestants' being saved, but only in that I would say 'most faithful and genuine protestants,' which is, imo, a substantially smaller subsect of the ecclesial communities. Many are doing as many Catholics are prone to do. Just there because it's what they were taught to do, or there for social reasons, or because it makes them feel good, not because they truly and faithfully believe in or love God or even fear Hell. The difference, of course, is that we have the Sacraments which can bridge the gap and save even the most lax Catholic if they approach them with even the smallest bit of genuine intent. But the lax protestant, the pew sitter without Sacraments? I fear for them.
ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: “The universality of salvation means that it is granted not only to those who explicitly believe in Christ and have entered the church. Since salvation is offered to all, it must be made concretely available to all. But it is clear that today, as in the past, many people do not have an opportunity to come to know or accept the Gospel revelation or enter the Church. The social and cultural conditions in which they live do not permit this, and frequently they have been brought up in other religious traditions. For such people salvation in Christ is accessible by virtue of a grace, which, while having a mysterious relationship to the Church, does not make them formally part of the Church but enlightens them in a way which is accommodated to their spiritual and material situation. This grace comes from Christ; it is the result of his Sacrifice and is communicated by the Holy Spirit. It enables each person to attain salvation through his or her free cooperation.”
@@geoffjs ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: “Eternal damnation remains a possibility, but we are not granted, without special divine revelation, the knowledge of whether or which human beings are effectively involved in it. The thought of hell and even less the improper use of biblical images must not create anxiety or despair... The concept of hellfire, the fiery furnace and the unquenchable fire of Gehenna need to be interpreted as symbolic language... The risen Jesus has conquered Satan, giving us the Spirit of God who makes us cry, ‘Abba, Father!’ (Rm 8:15; Gal 5:6).”
Aren't there saints who converted at the sight of martyrs giving their lives for Christ, becoming martyrs themselves? They never entered a mass or knew a priest but they died a death of Christian sacrifice. Are they considered joined to the church by that act?
There is something called a baptism of blood I believe. I don’t know the full doctrine behind it, but basically it means that if someone didn’t get baptized because they genuinely didn’t have the chance to, that they can also be saved. Just look at the thief on the cross next to Jesus. He didn’t have the chance to be baptized, but still got saved. I think of that often as a reminder that there is salvation for anyone who truely accepts jesus in their hearts before their last breath.
Not all Protestants will be saved, not all Catholics will be saved, not all Orthodox Christians will be saved. It is not the church that saves- it is Christ.
The church is pretty clear being a member isn't going to save anyone. Obeying the Church Christ founded means obeying Christ. The bulwark and pillar of truth is the church.
@@evangelion1962 I agree, to reject the Church is to reject Christ. But I believe that it is wrong to say that you have to belong to one specific branch of Christ’s church in order to be saved.
Pre-trib teaching is only a few hundred years old so therefore the Catholic Church teaches what Christendom has always taught - post-trib. There is no literal thousand year reign because there is no gap between Christ's Second Coming (clue there in the words 'second-coming') and the Last Judgement (Matthew 16:27). We are currently in 'that thousand year' period which we call The Church Age and it is of an indeterminate time period (currently over 2,000 years).
Mikepenn (& drjanitor) I think it would help if you listened to this again. The instruction is very tightly packed, and its easy to miss parts of it. The gist of it has been familiar to me for a long time, and my reaction to Mike's question is to say 'It depends ...' There is so much more information that is necessary before an answer is even attempted.
If Jesus truly did establish the Catholic church as his Church on earth and gave it the authority to teach and guide his sheep than rejecting the Catholic church "is" rejecting Christ. If a parent goes to the store and tells the oldest of their children that they are in charge until they get back and one of the younger children decides that they do not have to listen to the eldest because only the parent is in charge than that child has not rejected the authority of their elder sibling but the authority of the parent and will be punished for their disobedience when the parent returns.
@@benjaminhancock9014 " rejecting the Catholic church "is" rejecting Christ. " Thats funny, i didnt know Jesus likes burning people to death for no reason or molesting little boys.
@@benjaminhancock9014 Your illustration was interesting because you show the importance of circumstances. For example: Did this particular younger child see and hear the parent's delegation of authority? If not, and he was only told of it by others, did he believe them? If he did not fully believe them, what did he think was the possibility or probability that what they said might be true? What matters did he take into consideration when assessing probability or possibility? (Suppose the information came only from the oldest child, but the younger child knew that the older one had himself a history of disobedience and might not be a reliable source?) If he was not told the circumstances of the delegation at all, but only that he had to obey the oldest child, how culpable, if at all, would he have been?
@@christopher4192 I would agree that knowledge and understanding are important to both situations. If the younger sibling has reason to not believe the elder sibling that does not change whether or not the authority was given. But if you younger is honestly convinced that the elder was not put in charge but still wants to obey the parent, then the parent may have mercy on the younger sibling because it was a honest mistake. But if the younger does realize or was given sufficient information to know that the elder was put in charge (say a note left by the parent) and still refuses to obey then it is no longer an honest mistake but direct disobedience. It is also important considering what the parent expects from the kids. If the parent also told the eldest to make sure that all the kids finish their homework or clean the house before they get back and when rejecting the eldest being in charge they also reject doing the chores, that is extra problematic. I'll expand the illustration. A parent is going to work and calls down the eldest child and tells them that they are in charge until they get back. They write out a note for them that says "All the children need to clean up their areas and finish their homework before I get back. Eldest you know what to do." Once they leave for work the eldest gathers their siblings and tells them that the parent put them in charge and all the kids are gonna clean the house. The youngest speaks up saying "You never clean your room and you are always getting in trouble for leaving messes everywhere, they would never put you in charge". The eldest responds by showing them the note but the youngest says "this only says we have to clean our areas which means our rooms not the whole house and the last part is not putting you in charge it is just telling you to clean too since they knew you wouldn't". The eldest says "no, I talked to them before they left and they said I am in charge and told me what area each of us is in charge of". The youngest says, "you lie all the time so I don't believe you. I'm gonna go clean my room and do my homework like the note says and you can't tell me what to do." In this situation the youngest is still disobeying the parent even if they believe that they are following the parents instructions. They cleaned their room and did their homework like they were supposed to but they were also supposed to clean the kitchen which they didn't do. The parent will consider what the child honestly believed was expected of them, if they did that, and what they should have known based on the information and understanding they they were given. I'm curious of your thoughts.
They can but it’s more difficult, their theology tells them all sins are basically the same and that they can’t obey the commandments, it encourages sin.
Divine Mercy, generically, applies to the extended period of time that we are currently living in which could be the end of time, not end times, when Jesus will exercise His justice. Some prophecies speculate that the final warning will include the opportunity to accept or reject Christ, an example of Divine Mercy.
@@geoffjs So if one is protestant and pure in heart, Christ will come to him in his final moment and be like "Catholicism or hell?" And the protestant gets to pick?
The Lord Jesus founded the one, holy, Christian, and apostolic Church which has existed since that time. The Roman Church is basically an offshoot from the original church which developed as the Christians in Rome got in kahoots with the Imperial capital. The original church flows best today through evangelical Protestantism.
How deluded! Jesus founded His One True Church Mt 16 18-19 that became known as Catholic or Universal in 110 which codified your bible in 382. His Church is the fullness of Truth 1 Tim 3:15 & has existed for 2000 yrs, in spite of sinful men, proof of its divine origin No organisation, such as Protestantism can survive without hierarchy & a unifying authoritative interpreter, the fruits being confusion, division & scandal of 000’s of sects, resulting from personal interpretation, which is not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-21 No Protestant has ever been able to explain why personal interpretation, if guided by the Holy Spirit has resulted in 000’s sects proving that either the Holy Spirit is wrong or more likely, Protestantism! There are none so blind as those with a darkened intellect which the Holy Spirit obviously isn’t enlightening! Consider the damage caused to society by relativism, caused by there being many “truths” of Protestantism which have resulted in contraception, which until 1930, all denominations prohibited until the Anglican broke away in 1930, abortion, IVF, divorce, SSM, LGBGT, transgenderism etc. Protestantism has a lot to answer for!

I take my Grandma for example she died a good 10 years or so ago. Although a Protestant she was a good Holy Women constantly praying, reading her Bible going to Church and b6 all her aperinces doing her best to live what she knew to be a good Christian. She was never tought the truth of the Catholic Church. Many Protestants are like this. Now between Protestants and Catholics I firmly believe not only good Catholics have a better chance of attaining eternal salvation over good Protestants. But spend less time in Purgatory if for no other reason mor3 ofter then not have more people praying for them in Purgatory then Protestants do.
There is NO Purgatory. And why do youns Worship the Mother Mary and Pray to her? Why can youns Sin through the Week and ask a Father to Forgive you? GOD is the only one who can Forgive because HE is GOD. A Father is a Man. I would never take my chances to join a Catholic Church to get me to Heaven.
Unfortunately this video is a great example of how even very traditionally minded people have been infected with ecumenism. You shouldn't promulgate the idea that many protestants go to heaven, many saints and missionaries sacrificed their lives because they knew there was no salvation outside of the church, THAT'S how important it is to evangelize as a Catholic. Catholics in the past didn't believe protestants go to heaven and protestants before the 20th century had even less access to information than we do now, so there really is no excuse for the vast majority of protestants. I think as a Catholic you should understand that you can't give Protestantism an inch, it is because of tolerance of Protestantism which has lead us to our satanic world now. Is it possible a Protestant be saved? Yes, and we should pray always that they do. However it's reasonable to think that it's very very unlikely. As a Catholic you have to remember that God gives everyone the means for their salvation, to think that they are saved at the hour of their death implicitly denies that they are given abundant opportunities for their salvation throughout their lifetime.
While Jesus Christ ✝️ IS the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus Christ ✝️ is NOT an exclusivist, and will judge based on Love, Mercy, Logic, Reason and on Holiness and Justice.
Wrong. Jesus being the way IS an exclusive claim. Those not in Christ are NOT going to be saved. The thing that is not exclusive is that salvation comes through Rome.
Thank you, I have learned something new here: a protestant baptism is valid according to the Catholic Church. I am in a bit of a pickle. I am what you would call a newborn Christian, I am not yet baptized and I want to become a Catholic. I am Dutch but live in Portugal, but I don't speak Portuguese. I am also a travelling musician (in Europe)this is how I make a living, so I am on the move a lot. Here in Portugal I go to a local Anglican English service every Sunday, and on the road I improvise. In Portugal I cannot enter the local equivalent of rcia because of language and moving to a country where I speak the language (Holland, Germany or UK) is not possible right now. But after watching this video I at least will try to get baptized in the Anglican church here, although I am not sure how the vicar will react when I tell him my predicament and that I really want to become Catholic. Well, at least we have Fatima here in Portugal 😊. Thank you for this video and God bless you.
There are Catholic Churches all over the world. You can to to any Catholic priest and enquire about baptism. I doubt if any Anglican minister would baptise you without making sure that you believed in all the Anglican doctrines, which are very DIFFERENT from Catholic doctrines.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which means House of Bread. Jesus said in John 6, So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35 [e]Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.

There is a serious question about whether Catholics can be saved because most have never received the Eucharist. Jesus told us very clearly and plainly to "eat" and "drink" his body and blood. Most Catholics have never received the blood. Now I know that there is the argument that flesh contains both body and blood.....but good gracious.....on much a serious issue why risk making that argument in the face of Jesus precise words?
There is no question. the authority that Christ established says that both are contained in either species. Theyve said it infallibly. Which means it come from the holy Ghost. But more importantly you have no idea what you're talking about. In the novus ordo, which is the vast majority of Catholics, we recieve under both forms. In other words that vast majority of Catholics do receive the blood( wine) and have for several decades
Well done, this is a huge & important topic! Apart from their theological heresies & perhaps because of them, I find Protestants generally irrational & difficult to understand! For example, some regard baptism as optional & symbolic when the bible says otherwise Jn 3:5 & 1 Peter 3:21. Then there is the related immersion debate which is not biblical to say nothing of the persistence with blasphemous rebaptism, which is impossible! Infant baptism is another contentious issue! Likewise, the idea that all sin is sin ie the same is ludicrous when 1 Jn 5 16-18 says otherwise by distinguishing between deadly & non deadly sin. Protestants must be indoctrinated with many falsehoods about Catholicism, which they blindly accept without verifying for themselves such as - denying that the CC was established by Jesus Mt 16 18-19 - denying that St Peter was the first Pope with authority delegated to him by Jesus - denying the infallibility of Popes when officially teaching on faith & morals - worship of Our Lady & statues, - deletion of the 2nd Commandment rather than realising it is combined with our 1st Commandment, - egregious claim that Catholics are guilty of cannibalism because we believe in His True Real Presence Jn 6 51 - claim that the CC added books to the bible, when Luther clearly removed 7 books - denying that the CC codified the Bible in 382 when the evidence is obvious - typically believing in a max of 2 sacraments when Jesus clearly instituted more - disbelieving that the spread & growth in the number of sects is not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-23 - not realising the scandal caused to non believers by existence of 000’s of sects - believing that Protestantism, caused by personal interpretation without hierarchy & a unifying authoritative interpreter is sustainable as the confusion & division suggests otherwise - blind to the obvious contradiction that if the Holy Spirit is functioning properly, by definition, there can’t be 000’s of sects, so illogical to argue otherwise Protestantism doesn’t realise that the generally strident & biased attacks on the CC are effectively disgraceful attacks on Our Lord & His Church. We as Catholics have been too tolerant of these attacks for far too long & plead with Protestants to examine their consciences & to cease such unchristian activity. All Christians should be unified in defending Christianity & the Truth & defending life from conception to natural death & evangelising non Christians Mount intellectually honest arguments rather than blatant lies & falsehoods to regain credibility. Catholics are not without fault, however, we tend to unknowingly hold to the truth without being able to effectively defend our beliefs Don’t Protestants realise that Protestantism was the first satanic attack on CC in 1517, followed by Freemasonry in 1717 & Communism in 1917 p, none of which succeeded as Jesus said that the gates of hell would not prevail! Protestantism, with its many “truths” caused relativism with its destructive effect of secularising society ie birth control, abortion, IVF, SSM, LGBGT+ Transgenderism etc On another topic, Protestantism takes for granted the huge contribution of the CC to the development of Western Civilisation as follows - schools & universities - medicine & hospitals - science & astronomy - law system from Canon Law - economics - double sided accounting - social services - human rights - architecture - arts & music etc which in todays world, is politically incorrect to acknowledge, all covered in an excellent book by Thomas Wood
OF course - since some "Protestants" live the TRUTH of Salvation (being born again of the Holy Spirit) that BY FAITH are ye saved, and that not of yourselves - it's the Gift of God. A Better question is whether Roman Catholics can be saved since they try to ADD their works to the perfect work of Jesus on the cross, making salvation a "Wage" that was earned instead of a Free GIFT from God. Catholics are saved by FAITH in spite of their religious system's heresy, of course.
It’s by faith and obedience most people have faith very few have obedience but why is this? Most refuse to obey Jesus commands it’s ironic when I hear the great Saints say most Catholics are damned but according to your view not only is that untrue but most Protestants are going despite believing Our Lady was a sinner and nothing special , we are in bad times .
A Protestant can go to purgatory, but it requires several factors to be in place. Firstly, they need to be infallibly ignorant of the fact that the Catholic Church is the only true faith and is the only actual Church. There are people out there who know Catholicism is indeed true, but joining would cause upheaval in their family life so they refuse to join. They will very likely go to hell because Jesus is not important enough to them. Two, they must be following God to the full degree of their understanding. This is actually harder for most people than simply partaking in the Sacraments. Catholics have a color by numbers system that keeps them right on track. Three, they must be repentant and contrite for all their sins. They can’t be living in some mortal sin. A frequent pitfall is divorce and remarriage in the West. These are the major caveats. Even then, only a Catholic can go to heaven, if a Protestant gets there it’s not because they were Protestant, it’s in spite of it, and only through purgatory.
I read this post and I think the person who claimed the Catholic Church is the one true Church is wrong. The Catholic Church is so arrogant to think it is the only true Church when it’s the one Church which attempted to change a commandment of God, (Sunday is NOT the Sabbath of God) only God can make a commandment. This Church also promotes praying to a dead woman as if she is able to help whatever request the person is seeking, you do realize that mother Mary is dead don’t you?
@@cdmcintyre1854 is Jesus arrogant for saying He is the Way, the Truth and the Life? The Catholic Church is the only Church Christ established. Anything else is a breakaway group, and follows the doctrines of man. St. Mary is not dead, the Bible says that all who are in Christ do not die, so she is alive. And we can pray to her to ask her to pray for us just like we can request any other living Christian to pray for us. As the Mother of God her prayers are close to the heart of Christ, it’s good to have her on your side. Saying St. Mary is dead is a denial of Christ’s victory over death. Lastly, the Church has the ability to make the Sabbath any day, because it is endowed with that authority by God. It chose Sunday because Christ rose on a Sunday after dying in Good Friday.
@@helloimchess it means that they truly don’t know the truth. Even if they have been told it, they still might be infallibly ignorant if they don’t know in their heart and mind that what they heard was true.
Acts 20:27-30 [27]For I have not turned aside in the least from announcing every counsel of God to you. [28]Take care of yourselves and of the entire flock, over which the Holy Spirit has stationed you as Bishops to rule the Church of God, which he has purchased by his own blood. [29]I know that after my departure ravenous wolves will enter among you, not sparing the flock. [30]And from among yourselves, men will rise up, speaking perverse things in order to entice disciples after them.
Scripture says faith is obedience. Jesus said, "Teach them to do ALL I commanded you." Protestants don't have ALL Jesus commanded because they threw away Jesus's oral DIVINE TRADITION He taught His Apostles
As a protestant, i wish to make my thoughts known regarding issues with the catholic doctrine First, how can anyone say that the church is speaking from the holy spirit and so all Christians should be catholic because the holy spirit said so through the church? That sounds like an easy way to manipulate people into joining the Catholic church. What stops protestant churches from claiming the holy spirit is speaking through them that all Catholics are in heresy and need to be protestant? See how that 'claim' has no weight to it. Then if you bring up that 'the catholic church was the first', i have to disagree. Christ was the foundation of the church but Catholicism isnt the one and only, there were Christians and churches originating in Africa just as early as the Catholic church. One can argue that those african churches were the first churches, not Catholic. Nevermind the fact that the holy spirit dewells in man NOT the church for the body of us men are the temple in which the holy spirit dewells in. Telling protestants that they have to be catholic or risk going to hell because the catholic church said so sounds like nothing more than fear mongering people to joining for the sake of selfish power, the protestant reformation was a reaction to the heretical catholic church to go back to how Christ originally bulit the church before Catholicism perverted the gospel. And ask yourself this, if the Catholic church was so correct as the one true church of Christ, why in the world did God allow the protestant reformation to happen to as Catholics would see it 'condemn so many people away from Christ'? It makes more sense that God let the protestant reformation happen so that Christians can go back to actually having a relationship with Jesus and following his word in the Bible rather than being stuck following the church who has distorted the gospel and made it useless to save. Salvation is by grace through faith and not of works lest any man should boast For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whosoever believes in him shall not parish but have everlasting life We are saved by calling onto Christ as our Lord and savior who is God and believing he really did rise from the dead and turning away from our sins and trusting in him. Being catholic doesnt save anyone, the catholic church doesnt save anyone. Only our faith in Christ ALONE saves and Thank God that we have the honor and freedom to go directly to Him for forgiveness of sins rather than being stuck in a works based church who claims you must go to them for salvation who offer nothing more than cheap grace.
In summary, it is about whether or not you accept the fullness of the Truth in His One True Church & the grace received via the sacraments that He instituted especially baptism Jn 3:5 & His True Real Presence Jn 6 51. If you reject the latter two sacraments, you reject His teaching & so risk your salvation. The CC is not trying to scare people, merely pointing out the Truth of the CC which people can reject at their own peril.
@geoffjs I know scaring people isn't the goal but the way in which the Catholic church proclaims only the fullness of truth can be received in the 'One True Church' is quite fear inducing, especially when connected to the fact that the Catholic church believes you can only have 'true' communion in a Catholic church or you are not receiving the 'real' presence of Christ. I believe all Christians should be baptized and take communion but I don't believe we are forced to have to be Catholic in order to receive the fullness of Christ. The whole idea of the Catholic church with its authority and the Holy Spirit rests within the Catholic church only stems from the idea of it being the 'One True Church', that's just because Catholicism was the first institutionalized form of Christianity recognized by an earthly government. The Bible speaks on how the temple of the Holy Spirit is the body of a believer and it's the believers that make up the Church of Christ, the TRUE Church (That's why Protestants with all the different denominations still can have deep unification with eachother) I accept the fullness of truth in the Word of God through the scriptures above all else, I much would rather go to God directly to receive truth than HAVE to go through the Catholic church which teaches things which are not biblical like Purgatory, praying to Mary and the saints, and the idea of being saved by faith + works rather than faith alone.
@@redhitman5311Jesus est His One True Church which is the pillar & foundation of Truth 1 Tim 3:15 & codified your bible in 382AD. Don’t you see the obvious contradiction of Protestantism with confusion, division & scandal of 000’s of sects which is not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-23 resulting from personal interpretation. The Holy Spirit lead & guides with the Truth but Protestantism has many “truths” hence negating its claims, they can’t all be True, only the CC is! Protestantism can’t agree on the necessity for baptism & then argue about immersion on which the bible is silent. Infant baptism is another can of worms in spite of Acta 2 38-39 & households being baptised. Protestantism doesn’t believe in the sin of Adam or original sin! Protestantism rejects His Real True Presence in the Eucharist Jn 6:51 in spite of it being the source & summit of Christianity, go figure!
@geoffjs 1 Tim. 3:15 - The Church of the Living God could just be ANY church that follows Christ for Christ himself is the pillar and foundation of truth. This doesn't prove the Catholic Church is the one true church unless you ASSUME the Catholic Church is the one true church to begin with. I don't see the contradictions of Protestantism for I don't find confusion in it and Protestants are not divided, Protestants of multiple denominations can come together and all worship Christ, sure we may disagree with secondary issues but we are STILL unified as Brothers and Sisters in Christ because we dont believe in many truths but the ONE truth of the good news found in the Gospel of Christ. As for any scandals, the Catholic church also has had plenty of scandals so you can't use that to knock down Protestantism. As for Baptism, sure we Protestants disagree on the necessity of water Baptism but that is a secondary issue. There is a solid case that one doesn't NEED to have WATER Baptism to be saved. Are we commanded to take part in water baptism, sure, but to say it's needed for Salvation, that is something we can disagree on and still be unified. As for infant baptism, once again, we can disagree on that and still be unified, baptism isn't a core issue. Baptism is just a work at the end of the day, and we are not saved by works but by grace through our faith alone in which works naturally flows out from. By the way, I don't know any Protestants that don't believe in the sin of Adam or original sin ... unless you are referring to a very small group but Protestants DO believe in original sin. As for Eucharist, once again, that's a secondary issue, we can disagree if one thinks the bread and wine become the LITERAL body and blood of Christ but one can argue that Christ was talking in metaphors and using symbolism just like when Christ says He is the door or He is the great Vine. Christ wasn't a LITERAL door, it was symbolism just like how the bread and wine when eaten is a symbol of us taking in the body and blood of Christ into us. As for the Eucharist being the 'source & summit' of Christianity... I disagree with that statement, the source and summit of Christianity is the perfect life, death and RESURRECTION of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. The RESURRECTION is the source and summit of Christianity.
@@redhitman5311We don’t assume that the CC is His One True Church, instead we rely on objective history & the early fathers who wrote about the Church in the early years. We don’t consider baptism & Eucharist as secondary, but instead as primary & essential for salvation with the Holy Mass as the source & summit of Christianity. Protestants claiming to be biblically based are hypocritical when rejecting baptism Jn 3:5 as optional & His Real True Presence Jn 6 51-53 as symbolic, to say nothing of unbiblical sola Scriptura & sole fide. Too much focus on the details, rather than the substance ie no infant baptism & immersion when the bible is silent on both. They can’t agree on whether to use wine or grape juice & refuse to offer liturgical sacrificial worship as commanded by Jesus Jn 6 51-58, so not “church”, more like synagogue with prayer & teaching! Luther himself believed in His Real True Presence Luther removed 7 books without authority Deut 4:2 & added the word ALONE to Rom 3:28. Can you imagine the uproar if the CC changed one word! The lack of rational Protestant thinking is unbelievable, which I attribute to darkened intellects starved of grace received via the sacraments that He instituted. Pride keeps you from humbly accepting all the sacraments, which are biblical eg confession Jn 20 21-23, instead, it is disobediently adopting “my way” approach. Marriage as a sacrament has existed since Genesis with Jesus giving it His blessing at the marriage at Cana, the remaining 6 sacraments are biblical, but largely arrogantly ignored by Protestants For your own sake, open your eyes & acknowledge the many heresies of Protestantism. Out of charity, realise that those who knowingly reject the CC put their salvation at risk as you have no excuse, invincible ignorance is not the 8th sacrament!
Can a person believing in scripture alone n obeying all scripture be condemned to hell or lose his salvation? Where can u find some scripture tht says this? U cannot. N where can U find scripture tht says tht only catholics can be saved. U cannot.
Jesus says that baptism is necessary for salvation Jn 3:5 which many Protestants reject! Likewise, receiving His True Real Presence is also necessary for salvation Jn 6 51 - 54 which Protestantism also rejects! So tell me, how are you saved if you disobey Jesus?
@@geoffjs U are right on all counts Now pls remember this. All churches hv baptism n the eucharist. Did Jesus say U must be baptised only in the RCC. He didn't. The thief on the cross was not baptised at all. So is he in hell. The apostles n Mary were not baptised in the RCC by sprinkling. So are they saved. Btw the apostles were born again Christians n they died as christians. N Jesus established his church with the apostles who were fallible Christians. He did not establish another church called RCC with infallible men. N in deut 12, prov 30 n rev 22 God spoke to Moses David n John saying do not turn to the left or right. Do not add. Those who do, are considered liars n cannot inherit heaven. N Jesus said lying is of the devil. I hope all this will tell u tht there is wide deception in some churches n the word of God cannot be compromised. Its strange. All Catholics do not obey the word of God yet they they feel so secure in the RCC. N btw. When the eucharist is done by pedophiles n sodomites, it cannot change into the real presence. If the RCC claims tht it becomes the real presence, yet pedophile n sodomite priests are allowed to partake of the real presence. It's amazing insanity. Do U hv an answer for this
@@geoffjs so I will ask U the same question. How are U saved if U disobey Jesus. Christians do not disobey Jesus. Here are some things tht cause U to disobey Jesus. Statues, the rosary, scapulars, miraculous medals, novenas, praying to dead humans, making saints, making freemasons saints, using relics from bones, the imm conception, the assumption of Mary, kissing the pope's ring n feet, infallibility, divine mercy n chaplets, first Saturdays, Faustina's diary, the words of Catherine of Siena on the pope, n a lot more. Additions n lying n deception
@@dannyboy6598Listen up! Any baptism properly performed using the words of Mt 28 19 is recognised by the CC. However, the issue is that only the Catholic & Orthodox Churches have properly confected Eucharist as only they have validly ordained priests in an unbroken line of apostolic succession. In any event, most Protestants don’t believe His True Real Presence Jn 6 51, instead, believing it to be symbolic
Baptism of intent I have a problem with because then why baptism at all? If it's only a metaphore then yes intent would work, but we believe a big change is marked on you spiritually when your baptized, so a person without that mark cannot go to heaven
Water baptism is permanent and will always be a conduit for grace. Baptism of desire is mercy from God that if through no fault of thier own they do not recieve water baptism, yet desire it, that desire will serve as thier baptism. It is not permanent. The person would need to persist in ignorance and desire until their death for it to save them. Once they lose the desire thats it, or if become aware yet refuse water baptism.
Hmmm. How does a faithful Catholic deal with the knowledge that their Protestant spouse will likely go to Hell? I understand that the Catholic spouse is responsible for converting their spouse to the faith. Are the rules different for different people? Unless you are attending a wedding, funeral or the like, you are not to participate in your spouses or anyone’s Protestant services. I think you can go straight to a pot luck dinner though. Why would a spouse of twenty years not convert when her husband has so much knowledge of the faith?
Are Mormons saved? Are Jews and Muslins saved? Just because the Bible says the words "we are saved" does not mean that anyone who reads those words is saved. The bible also outlines how we receive that salvation so by rejecting the way Christ set for us to receive salvation in favor of your own way is a bad idea. Your argument seems to be that the Bible says "we are saved" therefore everyone is saved but that is blatantly anti-Biblical.
No one is saved, or at least not until we die and face judgement. We are redeemed. But it is up to us to accept the gift of redemption Christ has obtained for us. Matthew 19:17, Luke 11:28, John 14:15.
@@uriahthehittite1672Well stated. As St Paul says Phil 2:12, he is working out his salvation with fear & trembling. I’m working out my salvation through grace received via His sacraments, like electricity, together with faith & good works James 2 20-24 & Mt 25 31-46
The question is not so much can Protestants be " saved" more than can Protestants grow in their love for Christ. Can They be transformed In Christ? For Protestants, Salvation is an end point.. For Orthodox and Catholic, Salvation is Not an end, But a beginning! For Orthodox, Heaven is a consequence for those transformed In Christ. It's like a case of preferring the " gift" to the One Who GAVE it.... Do you follow Scripture Or He who GAVE Scripture?? It's Not about Where you go. It's about WHO you Go TO! God IS the Fullness of Heaven! Too many Protestants act as though Heaven were " real estate" Something a simple declaration can buy for them... Salvation Isn't a Something, It's A Someone! Jesus! Evangelical Protestants cannot " sell' heaven anymore than Any Other Christian faith can!!

Protestants have been mis lead, i believe some protestants will be saved, however (and this goes for every denomination) there will be more who are damned than saved, there will be more catholics damned than saved, more orthodox damned than saved, and more protestants damned than saved, a catholic priest died and came back to life and said in his testimony, “The hour i died, 33,000 others did aswell, 2 went to heaven, 3 went to putgatory, and the rest were eternally damned” i know orthodox and Protestants dont believe in purgatory but the bible does say to pray for the dead, anyway i geuss my point is even though the catholic church was the first church and is still the biggest church to this day, if protestants and orthodox really do love jesus and follow him based off of what they strictly believe, God will judge them more on that, because Gods mercy is infinite, but thats just my thoughts and we can never know for sure.
I am Protestant and I know for a fact I am saved. The idea that most Protestant churches you walk into will have a coffee shop at the front door then go into your concert worship ceremony is completely false. For example, the largest Protestant denomination is Anglicanism, which I am apart of, has rich liturgy and administers the sacraments every morning. There are churches who do have the opposing things though and do I think they’re saved? Yes. But I advise against it cause it is often a slippery slope that leads to heresy
According to Wikipedia there are 85 million Anglicans in the world, there also 85 million Assemblies of God in the world. But more to the point, the number of Pentecostal's as a whole is 644 million in world. They are second, as a whole, to us. Add 55 milion baptist and The coffee shop concert christians got you beat by a mile. Plus they are growing much faster than you, or us Im sorry, I know everyone accuses me of acting like they are the only Protestants. Well, they are the only Protestants that matter. The Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Methodist churches just aren't relevant anymore. And they are. You guys are shrinking and they're growing. Yes, you can show growth here and there, this year to that year, but over a span of say the last 50 years. You guys are shrinking and they're growing .
Salvation follows judgment, and judgment follows death. I don't think non-Catholics understand this, but if a Catholic ever claims to be 'saved' then he is committing the sin of presumption.

The general consensus among Christians is that Catholics can be saved....but ONLY.....if they reject the Roman Church's many false teachings and accept, by faith, the free gift of salvation purchased by Christ on the cross.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. So, yes.
Amd this use of God's holy name to push the Vatican's vain, self-serving agenda is why I am willing to risk damnation by following JESUS, and learning all I can from gospels rejected by the Vatican because what the Apostle Peter, the Apostle Thomas, and others who knew Him personally don't happen to fit the narrative which makes the Vatican powerful. I look to Jesus alone for salvation through my personal seeking for and following of Him only. May God, who is not willing that even one be lost, help us all. Amen.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which means House of Bread. Jesus said in John 6, So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35 [e]Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.

As a non-denominational Follower of Christ, I will not enter RCIA to join the Catholic Church until the Pope rebukes and repents for the apostasy of blessing homosexuals and bending the knee to postmodern sensibilities. Rebuke and get rid of Vatican II and repent of the sin of tolerating fornication, and THEN I will take the Catholic Church seriously.
I wouldn't suggest rcia at all. I would tell anyone to enter through the sspx. Its recognize and resist. Pre-vatican 2 Catholicism. But we recognize the Pope. However we dont have to obey any of this post Vatican 2 none sense. You shouldn't become Catholic or not become Catholic because of a Pope. You should become Catholic because its the church Christ founded. And there is no salvation outside of it, objectively. It has nothing to do with Francis. My next video is actually going to be on why we should be Catholic dispite Francis. You're telling Jesus you'll do his will on your terms
Friend, the Church is more than the Pope. The head of the Church is Christ Himself. The Pope is the vicar, or CEO, and we know from Jesus teachings on the stewards, they will be called to answer for how they performed, with what was entrusted to them. If you're "non-denominational", you may not know of everything going on. Firstly the Marian Apparitions and warnings - this is Revelation 12:17 - the Red Dragon fights with the Woman (Jesus is seated as Judge in Rev, he's not fighting the battles for us, otherwise it's a walkover. We have to fight, with help of course. A bit like weightlifting; if someone else lifts the weights, you ain't building muscle). Did you know, for example, Our Lady of Quito (Ecuador) 400 years ago warned of the 20th century, and listed women's loose morals, clothing, and bad elements entering seminary. Our Lady at La Salette (France) warned of famine as chastisement, bad clergy, and "2 rotten popes". Today's confusion - Our Lady at Akita (Japan) said "bishops against bishops" is the work of the devil. Hell is gonna be very crowded. The point is - everything that is happening, is known to God and angels and saints in heaven. There will be no escape for all these bad characters. What really puzzles me is not the apostasy going on, but rather that these people who have been in seminary, who presumably are reading the bible, and yet continue this way. I could understand an atheist who doesn't know; but clergy?
you forgot the works part I wonder why as if it isnt their Guess the Holy Spirit means little to you clowns with your Sola Ski Tura gospel of hell "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God--not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:8-10)
"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” -John 3:36 "For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."- Romans 10:10
Not really Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which means House of Bread. Jesus said in John 6, So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35 [e]Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.

What about indulgences? What about the catholic church taking peoples money for prayers? Jesus flipped the tables in his Fathers house over money and bribes.
Myth 1: A person can buy his way out of hell with indulgences. Since indulgences remit only temporal penalties, they cannot remit the eternal penalty of hell. Once a person is in hell, no amount of indulgences will ever change that fact. The only way to avoid hell is by appealing to God’s eternal mercy while still alive. After death, one’s eternal fate is set (Heb. 9:27). Myth 2: A person can buy indulgences for sins not yet committed. The Church has always taught that indulgences do not apply to sins not yet committed. The Catholic Encyclopedia notes, “[An indulgence] is not a permission to commit sin, nor a pardon of future sin; neither could be granted by any power.” Myth 3: A person can “buy forgiveness” with indulgences. The definition of indulgences presupposes that forgiveness has already taken place: “An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven” (Indulgentarium Doctrina 1, emphasis added). Indulgences in no way forgive sins. They deal only with punishments left after sins have been forgiven. Myth 4: Indulgences were invented as a means for the Church to raise money. Indulgences developed from reflection on the sacrament of reconciliation. They are a way of shortening the penance of sacramental discipline and were in use centuries before money-related problems appeared. Myth 5: An indulgence will shorten your time in purgatory by a fixed number of days. The number of days which used to be attached to indulgences were references to the period of penance one might undergo during life on earth. The Catholic Church does not claim to know anything about how long or short purgatory is in general, much less in a specific person’s case. Myth 6: A person can buy indulgences. The Council of Trent instituted severe reforms in the practice of granting indulgences, and, because of prior abuses, “in 1567 Pope Pius V canceled all grants of indulgences involving any fees or other financial transactions” (Catholic Encyclopedia). Myth 7: A person used to be able to buy indulgences. One never could “buy” indulgences. The financial scandal surrounding indulgences that gave Martin Luther an excuse for his heterodoxy, involved indulgences in which the giving of alms to some charitable fund or foundation was used as the occasion to grant the indulgence. There was no outright selling of indulgences. The Catholic Encyclopedia states: “Among the good works which might be encouraged by being made the condition of an indulgence, almsgiving would naturally hold a conspicuous place. . . . To give money to God or to the poor is a praiseworthy act, and, when it is done from right motives, it will surely not go unrewarded.”
I started watching your videos shortly before I started going to Mass when I was interested in becoming Catholic. I celebrated my Confirmation yesterday and first Holy Communion. Praise God the Holy Spirit lead me home. Thank you and God bless.
Congratulations!
Welcome home!
Jesus said Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life within you
Strictly speaking the only sacraments necessary for salvation are Baptism and Penance. Even so, we know the rules but God isn't bound by those rules.
Why do you never finish the rest of what was said after that?
@@mikepennn "whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."
@@carissstewart3211 Jesus said UNLESS If you don't do it then take it up with Jesus. Pul confirmed it in 1 Cor 10 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? (v.16).
And everyone knows Jesus was always hyperliteral when he spoke
The only thing I know is God judges us on what we know and what we don’t know. Personally, I think Catholics will be judged the most severely because we have the fullness of truth. We don’t have excuses.
I’ve thought this too. I think I’ll be judged stricter than any member of ISIS.
Nope. With the fullness of the truth comes the weight of sin and the true battle with temptation and evil. As Catholics we are the sole target of the Devil because we are the closest to salvation. Prots consider themselves saved and don't fight against sin and temptation as there is no punishment for sinning. God will not judge us more severely because our cross was heavier. Prots choose not to have the fullness of the truth. It is everyone's responsibility to investigate the truth of the Catholic Church.
@@scottritz7520 Fullness of truth, what is that? Is bishops moving around child molester costume holymen truth? Is burning people to death for no reason part of this fullness?
If you are judged, you will be found guilty. The saved are not judged. Catholics will get their wish and be judged. Better get back on your knees befor that statue and maybe the statue will save you.
Yes, but today most Catholics don’t fight. We just try to justify sin so that we can continue doing it. We are often Catholic at Mass on Sunday, but not in our lives apart from that.
True a real Catholic does fight sin and does bear a heavy cross. There just aren’t many of them. I do think more Catholics are waking up though.
Excellent video. Needed this today. I want to come home to the Catholic Church but all my family is anti-Catholic and since I'm living with my parents due to epilepsy and unable to drive since I don't have a driver's license I'm being delayed. I pray to God that he doesn't hold this against me as disobedience
God understands. May He help you find a way. In Jesus's holy Name.
@josh39684 Speak with your parents about this matter. I hope they will hear you out. May God bless you, friend.
@michaelbarry1664 I have tried. Spoke to them about it too early honestly. My mom went off on it's hypocrisy. After that, I wrote a 500-plus paper on Catholic dogma and church history. I used AI to help with research. All I can do is pray
I would contact your nearest Church. The priest can look for someone who may be able to drive you to and from Mass. All it takes is an email - here's praying.....

Q. 1164. How does a person sin against faith?
A. A person sins against faith:
1. By not trying to know what God has taught;
Invincible ignorance doesn’t apply to those who are ignorant because they don’t make an effort to know what God has taught.
Is this a quote from something?

I know that God's mercy is infinite, but how can people who so overtly reject His Church be saved?
It's beyond my ability to imagine, but nothing is impossible for God.
I'm not catholic but I go to the mass every Sunday. I think it is so freeing to be able to say God's judgment is not mine to know completely. Even though I can make judgments about the souls of others it seems like it only harms my soul to assume I know the destination of another person's soul.
@@prayunceasingly2029:
I agree.
Unapologetically blunt
Even if it hurts someone's feelings, the Truth MUST be told.
There is no salvation nor remission of sin outside the Catholic Church.
One could be invincibly ignorant of the Catholic faith, where at the bare minimum, they were baptized, believed in the Trinity and Incarnation (as per the council of Florence) but invincible ignorance is not an 8th Sacrament. Even if a Protestant (with the above qualifications) were invincibly ignorant of the Catholic faith, couldn't be invincibly ignorant of the natural law written on his heart, and since there is no remission of sin outside the Church, a Protestant could not be pardoned for violating the natural law.
From 1972 to 1986 I was Protestant. I was baptized as a Protestant in 1982. In 1987 I completed RCIA and became Catholic. I was Confirmed a Catholic in 1988. I graduated from St. Joseph in 1991. Then I went through some dark times had two strokes in 2016, had an encounter with Jesus in a dream, was told to return to Mass, and I did so in 2018. I even serve Masses again.
How can Protestants be saved when they didn't come on the scene until 1517 AD Jesus started ONE CHURCH - if your church was not started by Christ, then you are in the wrong church. The Church, St Paul says in 1 Tim 3:15, “is the pillar and foundation of truth,” Not the Bible. We know it is the Catholic Church because John the Apostle went to Antioch, converted a man named Ignatius, and made him Bishop. Ignatius got captured and sent to Rome to be eaten by lions. On the trip, he wrote to the Smyrneans, “Where the Bishop is, there is Jesus Christ, and there is the Catholic Church. 110AD
It’s interesting today because with so much heresy, people don’t know the history of the Church. And a lot of Protestants don’t even realize this. But, I’ve met some who do and are proud of Martin Luther (I pray they can remove their pride). Also, people would have understood fully what they were doing in the time of Martin Luther.
I don't believe a bit that it is fruitful to preach that non Christians _can_ be saved.
Jesus taught that most people will go to hell. So we should also assume that as the norm, and not the other way around, when talking to our brethren (both protestants and Catholics)
This is truly excellent. A thorough and concise treatment of a subject that most get terribly wrong.
Only if they quit rebelling and repent.
how many times do you need to repent? why dont you just believe like john 3 16 says?
@@slavwolf94 Believing in Scripture alone will not save you, that's a lie and a heresy. Sounds to me like you need to work on humiliation more. Being a true Christian means living a life of constant penance.
sounds to me you dont understand how salvation works....Galatians 2:16-21 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ
@@slavwolf94 Simple answer, you need to repent every time you sin.
@@slavwolf94 Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves (James 1:22). If somewhat says he has faith but has no works, can that faith save him (James 2:14)? Faith without work is dead (James 2:17,26). Work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Phil 2:12).
Therefore, faith alone does not save anyone, unless one lives the Faith, doing what the Faith teaches. Dead were judged according to their deeds (Rev. 20:13), those who have done good things, unto the resurrection of life, those who have done evil, the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:29). We are all judged by what we did during our short life on earth following/doing what the faith teaches and NOT BY FAITH, one of many false teachings of protestant churches.
Thank you once again for a clear, succinct and well organized presentation of this very essential information. You pulled it all together very expertly. I pray that our Lord continue to help others through your talent, and I thank you for saying "yes" to His call, and for His Glory.
Essential information. This guy is pushing a religion top heavy with graven images and pedophile costume holymen. Well, its your right to believe as you want. I agree with freedom of religion.
I think this is solid video. I agree with all the points made. I differ though in the application in a way.
It is unrealistic to assume that most people go to heaven. Multiple Saints have taught about how hard it is for Catholic to enter heaven and we have all the sacraments and the truth. Protestants have a very serious disadvantage. It has been said that few Catholics are saved and even fewer Protestants are saved. This is not my personal opinion but I have read and been taught this multiple times and in multiple ways.
Protestants often relentlessly attack the Catholic Church. Even when a solid Catholic shares truth, they still persist. They have a hatred for the Catholic Church. Some even admit to spreading what knew were lies about Catholics on purpose.
I understand that not every Protestant behaves that way, but a lot of them intentionally set themselves up as enemies of the Church.
I want everyone to be saved. In order to help people most effectively, we need very realistic about the situations they are in.
I didnt say, nor do I believe, most people are saved. In fact I said most will reject Christ. I believe most Christians will be saved. Most Catholics, less but the majority of Orthodox and still many if not most Protestants, a few none Christians of good will. Ive made this clear in other videos just not this one.
We are not bound to believe most Catholics and even more Orthodox and Protestants will go to hell. Those " statements", though pius, carry no magisterial weight.
And of course we have spe salve from Benedict 16th which says that most are saved through Purgatory. Again, no magisterial weight.
We are free to believe what we like, so long as we dont say everyone is saved, or damned.
I base my belief on the fact that in the parables of Jesus the servants are always shown to be half to more than half saved.
10 virgins. 5 saved, 5 lost
3 servants. 2 saved, 1 lost.
Etc...
There are all most 8 billion people in the world and only 2.5 billion Christians. If all Christians get saved, which will not happen, and everyone else is damned thats still the vast majority of people going to hell.

Thank you. Shared 🙏✝️
Too complicated: No salvation outside the Church = Its the prayers and sacrifices of Catholics that provide salvation to Non Catholics. Hence Fatima where Jesus changed the Rosary through Mary and commanded we pray He " Lead all souls to Heaven especially the worst" Also you can clearly say that No Protestant will go directly to Heaven. Purgatory will be mandatory to right their beliefs in regards to the Church, Mary etc
I agree with you - and think it is possible for Protestants to get to heaven however thru purgatory which they don’t believe in and Catholics sacrificing for them - the only Sure fire way up is the Catholic Church
In a vision, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich saw the souls of protestants languish the longest and suffer the worst in Purgatory.
@@hyeminkwun9523 Yes, because those that loved them on Earth consider them in Heaven so they don't pray for them. that's where we come in or where we are supposed to come in anyway. Hence the addition to the Rosary with the Jesus prayer that applies to them when we say it
I have Protestants in my family and have Masses said for all who have passed, but also the living both Catholic and non Catholics because we never know how Our Lord will use them for salvation of Souls
Acts 16:30-31 Bible
“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Only believe and trust!!
The subject of Protestants came up today. I responded this way, "Protestants CAN be saved. Catholics WILL be saved."
If we get to heaven we will all be Catholic for we will have eaten the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[20]Understand this first: that every prophecy of Scripture does not result from one's own interpretation.
[21]For prophecy was not conveyed by human will at any time. Instead, holy men were speaking about God while inspired by the Holy Spirit. 👈(Why Apostolic Succession in the Church is so important)
As a Catholic I am disappointed in the amount of Catholics misunderstanding our doctrine in the comments.
I don't think they're Catholics. Plenty of Protestants lurking here!
True, God looks for ways for people to be with Him rather than send them to hell.
I sincerely hope this is the truth, because it is one of the best presentations I have seen about the matter of Salvation of non-Catholics and he says that most Protestants are saved. My heart is inclined to this because it shows the great Mercy of God. My conflict arises when I read some testimonies of the Saints, and I don’t know how to resolve this. May be there are atenuating circumstances in today’s society that did not exist when those visions by the ancient Saints occurred.
Mainly, the concept of the fewness of the saved. Were there more formal heretics in centuries past than today? Why would this be so? Not trying to make a point here, I sincerely don’t know the answer.

God does not compel anyone to be saved. He leaves everyone free to choose Life or Death on their own free will (Sirach 15:17). God has provided everything one needs to be saved in His Church, founded on the Apostles and sent to teach to OBSERVE ALL HE COMMANDED (Matt 28:20). If one wants to be saved, one must follow and do faithfully what His Church teaches.
God absolutely can save anyone he chooses, however he also will not force himself upon us. And he certainly does want to save anyone who will come to him, however some will proclaim that they do or that they desire to follow Christ however they do not follow him rather they venture their own path while saying they are following Christ.
“What do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he repented and went. And he went to the second and said the same; and he answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him; and even when you saw it, you did not afterward repent and believe him. (Matthew 21:28-32)
Thus you will know them by their fruits. “Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ (Matthew 7:20-22)
God provides all with the Grace necessary to find the path set by Christ and to follow it should we choose but this does not mean that all will follow it. This is why such an emphasis is put on knowledge and understanding, Because some are not on the path set by Christ but truly do believe they are following and as long as they are still walking parallel to Christs past than he will put you on the right path at the end but if you know you are not on Christs path and chose not to get on the right path than even if you are walking parallel to Christs path you have rejected his path and in doing so rejected him and he will allow you to stay on the path you chose. But only the path of Christ leads to Heaven.

John 21:25
[25]Now there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if each of these were written down, the world itself, I suppose, would not be able to contain the books that would be written.
I just want to make a comment on the statement of perfect contrition. If you have committed a mortal sin, you MUST go to Confession! Perfect Contrition is not a replacement of the Sacrament.
Well done, but the following needs to be said. All sin carries temporal punishment and this applies to everyone regardless of their ‘ignorance’ . A Protestant who is not fully aware that a particular action is a mortal sin may not be condemned for it but he/she still needs to undergo a temporal punishment for the sake of God’s universal justice. Catholics have recourse, through the Sacraments and the Holy Mass, to remit punishment, Protestants do not.
would it be true to say in the end God decides whether or not youre saved?
No, it would not. God already knows, he is not waiting to decide based on what you will do or not do. God does not come to know anything and then decide.
@@dann285 Thats true. The saved are covered in the blood of Christ. No ifs ands or buts.
Meine Eltern waren nicht gläubig. Ich wurde nicht im Glauben erzogen. Jedoch hat mich der Glaube fasziniert. Anstatt zum Ethik-Unterricht bin ich in den Kirchen-Unterricht gegangen. Ich besuche gerne die Kirche und lese religiös inspirierte Geschichten wie "Dantes göttliche Komödie".
In den letzten Wochen wollte ich mich dem Thema wieder annähern. Habe die Bibel gelesen (v.a. Neues Testament) und habe mit anderen Christen über den Glauben gesprochen. Auch habe ich gebetet und mir überlegt ob ich mich taufen lassen sollte. Daher kommt natürlich auch der Gedanke: in welcher Kirche? Man muss sich ja dann entscheiden....
Eines lies mich immer wieder erschaudern. Wie Christen über einander sprechen. Wie arrogant und besserwisserisch sich manche Menschen haben. Es macht mich traurig und lässt mich weiter weg vom Christentum mich bewegen.... man kann einfach nichts richtig machen. Ständig wird diskutiert. Ständig wird gehetzt und gelästert untereinander.
Doch steht in der Bibel: Ohne Liebe ist sogar der Glaube nichts.
I can’t remember which saint it was, but I remember reading a while ago about a saint who had visions of Purgatory, and she said there were Protestants there, but they had the hardest time getting through Purgatory because their Protestant friends and family don’t pray for them.

That is from Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich. She saw them suffer the longest and worst in Purgatory.

@@hyeminkwun9523 agree my friend.. as I'm sure you know Jesus thirst is for all to come to him and we are all called to help him in this whatever capacity we have, God bless you
Suggesting venial sin as the norm is over generous. There is a difference between knowing something is a sin and agreeing that it is a sin. If one knows that the Church teaches that, say, divorce and remarriage, is a sin but disagree with the Church on that point, that is sufficient knowledge for mortal sin. And if perfect contrition is difficult to obtain as a Catholic strengthened by the sacraments, it cannot be easy or the norm for protestants. That is to say that protestants love God more.
Perfectly outlined and explained.
I don't entirely disagree with the 'most protestants' being saved, but only in that I would say 'most faithful and genuine protestants,' which is, imo, a substantially smaller subsect of the ecclesial communities. Many are doing as many Catholics are prone to do. Just there because it's what they were taught to do, or there for social reasons, or because it makes them feel good, not because they truly and faithfully believe in or love God or even fear Hell.
The difference, of course, is that we have the Sacraments which can bridge the gap and save even the most lax Catholic if they approach them with even the smallest bit of genuine intent. But the lax protestant, the pew sitter without Sacraments? I fear for them.
ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: “The universality of salvation means that it is granted not only to those who explicitly believe in Christ and have entered the church. Since salvation is offered to all, it must be made concretely available to all. But it is clear that today, as in the past, many people do not have an opportunity to come to know or accept the Gospel revelation or enter the Church. The social and cultural conditions in which they live do not permit this, and frequently they have been brought up in other religious traditions. For such people salvation in Christ is accessible by virtue of a grace, which, while having a mysterious relationship to the Church, does not make them formally part of the Church but enlightens them in a way which is accommodated to their spiritual and material situation. This grace comes from Christ; it is the result of his Sacrifice and is communicated by the Holy Spirit. It enables each person to attain salvation through his or her free cooperation.”
Correctly applies to those who are invincibly ignorant but not to those who knowingly reject His One True Church!
@@geoffjs ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: “Eternal damnation remains a possibility, but we are not granted, without special divine revelation, the knowledge of whether or which human beings are effectively involved in it.
The thought of hell and even less the improper use of biblical images must not create anxiety or despair... The concept of hellfire, the fiery furnace and the unquenchable fire of Gehenna need to be interpreted as symbolic language... The risen Jesus has conquered Satan, giving us the Spirit of God who makes us cry, ‘Abba, Father!’ (Rm 8:15; Gal 5:6).”
Excellent.
Aren't there saints who converted at the sight of martyrs giving their lives for Christ, becoming martyrs themselves? They never entered a mass or knew a priest but they died a death of Christian sacrifice. Are they considered joined to the church by that act?
There is something called a baptism of blood I believe. I don’t know the full doctrine behind it, but basically it means that if someone didn’t get baptized because they genuinely didn’t have the chance to, that they can also be saved.
Just look at the thief on the cross next to Jesus. He didn’t have the chance to be baptized, but still got saved.
I think of that often as a reminder that there is salvation for anyone who truely accepts jesus in their hearts before their last breath.
Not all Protestants will be saved, not all Catholics will be saved, not all Orthodox Christians will be saved. It is not the church that saves- it is Christ.
The church is pretty clear being a member isn't going to save anyone. Obeying the Church Christ founded means obeying Christ. The bulwark and pillar of truth is the church.
There's no salvation outside the Church. If you don't accept the Catholic Church as the one true Church you will not be saved.
@@evangelion1962 I agree, to reject the Church is to reject Christ. But I believe that it is wrong to say that you have to belong to one specific branch of Christ’s church in order to be saved.
@@nl396 I accept the church catholic, with a lowercase ‘c.’ However I do not believe that I must attend the Roman church in order to be saved.
@@Aaron-om6fm Jesus didn't establish any Protestant churches. All of them were made up by laymen. Or heretical ex-Catholics.

What is the Catholic view on the pre-tribulation rapture belief of the end times?
Pre-trib teaching is only a few hundred years old so therefore the Catholic Church teaches what Christendom has always taught - post-trib. There is no literal thousand year reign because there is no gap between Christ's Second Coming (clue there in the words 'second-coming') and the Last Judgement (Matthew 16:27). We are currently in 'that thousand year' period which we call The Church Age and it is of an indeterminate time period (currently over 2,000 years).
So if someone believes that their salvation is " Christ and Him Crucified" they cannot be saved unless they are Catholic ?
Mikepenn (& drjanitor) I think it would help if you listened to this again. The instruction is very tightly packed, and its easy to miss parts of it. The gist of it has been familiar to me for a long time, and my reaction to Mike's question is to say 'It depends ...' There is so much more information that is necessary before an answer is even attempted.
If Jesus truly did establish the Catholic church as his Church on earth and gave it the authority to teach and guide his sheep than rejecting the Catholic church "is" rejecting Christ. If a parent goes to the store and tells the oldest of their children that they are in charge until they get back and one of the younger children decides that they do not have to listen to the eldest because only the parent is in charge than that child has not rejected the authority of their elder sibling but the authority of the parent and will be punished for their disobedience when the parent returns.
@@benjaminhancock9014 " rejecting the Catholic church "is" rejecting Christ. "
Thats funny, i didnt know Jesus likes burning people to death for no reason or molesting little boys.
@@benjaminhancock9014 Your illustration was interesting because you show the importance of circumstances. For example: Did this particular younger child see and hear the parent's delegation of authority? If not, and he was only told of it by others, did he believe them? If he did not fully believe them, what did he think was the possibility or probability that what they said might be true? What matters did he take into consideration when assessing probability or possibility? (Suppose the information came only from the oldest child, but the younger child knew that the older one had himself a history of disobedience and might not be a reliable source?) If he was not told the circumstances of the delegation at all, but only that he had to obey the oldest child, how culpable, if at all, would he have been?
@@christopher4192 I would agree that knowledge and understanding are important to both situations. If the younger sibling has reason to not believe the elder sibling that does not change whether or not the authority was given. But if you younger is honestly convinced that the elder was not put in charge but still wants to obey the parent, then the parent may have mercy on the younger sibling because it was a honest mistake. But if the younger does realize or was given sufficient information to know that the elder was put in charge (say a note left by the parent) and still refuses to obey then it is no longer an honest mistake but direct disobedience.
It is also important considering what the parent expects from the kids. If the parent also told the eldest to make sure that all the kids finish their homework or clean the house before they get back and when rejecting the eldest being in charge they also reject doing the chores, that is extra problematic.
I'll expand the illustration.
A parent is going to work and calls down the eldest child and tells them that they are in charge until they get back. They write out a note for them that says "All the children need to clean up their areas and finish their homework before I get back. Eldest you know what to do." Once they leave for work the eldest gathers their siblings and tells them that the parent put them in charge and all the kids are gonna clean the house. The youngest speaks up saying "You never clean your room and you are always getting in trouble for leaving messes everywhere, they would never put you in charge". The eldest responds by showing them the note but the youngest says "this only says we have to clean our areas which means our rooms not the whole house and the last part is not putting you in charge it is just telling you to clean too since they knew you wouldn't". The eldest says "no, I talked to them before they left and they said I am in charge and told me what area each of us is in charge of". The youngest says, "you lie all the time so I don't believe you. I'm gonna go clean my room and do my homework like the note says and you can't tell me what to do."
In this situation the youngest is still disobeying the parent even if they believe that they are following the parents instructions. They cleaned their room and did their homework like they were supposed to but they were also supposed to clean the kitchen which they didn't do. The parent will consider what the child honestly believed was expected of them, if they did that, and what they should have known based on the information and understanding they they were given.
I'm curious of your thoughts.
They can but it’s more difficult, their theology tells them all sins are basically the same and that they can’t obey the commandments, it encourages sin.
The whole thing of devine mercy and jesus appearing in the final moment with a choice... can someone explain that to me a little more? Thanks ❤
Divine Mercy, generically, applies to the extended period of time that we are currently living in which could be the end of time, not end times, when Jesus will exercise His justice. Some prophecies speculate that the final warning will include the opportunity to accept or reject Christ, an example of Divine Mercy.
@@geoffjs So if one is protestant and pure in heart, Christ will come to him in his final moment and be like "Catholicism or hell?" And the protestant gets to pick?
The Lord Jesus founded the one, holy, Christian, and apostolic Church which has existed since that time. The Roman Church is basically an offshoot from the original church which developed as the Christians in Rome got in kahoots with the Imperial capital. The original church flows best today through evangelical Protestantism.
I would say The original faith is the Orthodox Church.
How deluded!
Jesus founded His One True Church Mt 16 18-19 that became known as Catholic or Universal in 110 which codified your bible in 382. His Church is the fullness of Truth 1 Tim 3:15 & has existed for 2000 yrs, in spite of sinful men, proof of its divine origin
No organisation, such as Protestantism can survive without hierarchy & a unifying authoritative interpreter, the fruits being confusion, division & scandal of 000’s of sects, resulting from personal interpretation, which is not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-21
No Protestant has ever been able to explain why personal interpretation, if guided by the Holy Spirit has resulted in 000’s sects proving that either the Holy Spirit is wrong or more likely, Protestantism! There are none so blind as those with a darkened intellect which the Holy Spirit obviously isn’t enlightening!
Consider the damage caused to society by relativism, caused by there being many “truths” of Protestantism which have resulted in contraception, which until 1930, all denominations prohibited until the Anglican broke away in 1930, abortion, IVF, divorce, SSM, LGBGT, transgenderism etc. Protestantism has a lot to answer for!
There is no church called 'Roman Church'.

There is NO Purgatory. And why do youns Worship the Mother Mary and Pray to her? Why can youns Sin through the Week and ask a Father to Forgive you? GOD is the only one who can Forgive because HE is GOD. A Father is a Man. I would never take my chances to join a Catholic Church to get me to Heaven.
Unfortunately this video is a great example of how even very traditionally minded people have been infected with ecumenism. You shouldn't promulgate the idea that many protestants go to heaven, many saints and missionaries sacrificed their lives because they knew there was no salvation outside of the church, THAT'S how important it is to evangelize as a Catholic. Catholics in the past didn't believe protestants go to heaven and protestants before the 20th century had even less access to information than we do now, so there really is no excuse for the vast majority of protestants. I think as a Catholic you should understand that you can't give Protestantism an inch, it is because of tolerance of Protestantism which has lead us to our satanic world now. Is it possible a Protestant be saved? Yes, and we should pray always that they do. However it's reasonable to think that it's very very unlikely. As a Catholic you have to remember that God gives everyone the means for their salvation, to think that they are saved at the hour of their death implicitly denies that they are given abundant opportunities for their salvation throughout their lifetime.
If we don't believe that the house our friends and family are in is on fire, what is the point of trying to get them out of there?
While Jesus Christ ✝️ IS the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus Christ ✝️ is NOT an exclusivist, and will judge based on Love, Mercy, Logic, Reason and on Holiness and Justice.
Wrong. Jesus being the way IS an exclusive claim. Those not in Christ are NOT going to be saved. The thing that is not exclusive is that salvation comes through Rome.
Thank you, I have learned something new here: a protestant baptism is valid according to the Catholic Church. I am in a bit of a pickle. I am what you would call a newborn Christian, I am not yet baptized and I want to become a Catholic. I am Dutch but live in Portugal, but I don't speak Portuguese. I am also a travelling musician (in Europe)this is how I make a living, so I am on the move a lot. Here in Portugal I go to a local Anglican English service every Sunday, and on the road I improvise. In Portugal I cannot enter the local equivalent of rcia because of language and moving to a country where I speak the language (Holland, Germany or UK) is not possible right now. But after watching this video I at least will try to get baptized in the Anglican church here, although I am not sure how the vicar will react when I tell him my predicament and that I really want to become Catholic. Well, at least we have Fatima here in Portugal 😊. Thank you for this video and God bless you.
Visit Fatima on the 13th of any month from May to Oct if you haven’t already done so, great spiritual experience!
There are Catholic Churches all over the world. You can to to any Catholic priest and enquire about baptism.
I doubt if any Anglican minister would baptise you without making sure that you believed in all the Anglican doctrines, which are very DIFFERENT from Catholic doctrines.

There is a serious question about whether Catholics can be saved because most have never received the Eucharist. Jesus told us very clearly and plainly to "eat" and "drink" his body and blood. Most Catholics have never received the blood. Now I know that there is the argument that flesh contains both body and blood.....but good gracious.....on much a serious issue why risk making that argument in the face of Jesus precise words?
There is no question. the authority that Christ established says that both are contained in either species. Theyve said it infallibly. Which means it come from the holy Ghost.
But more importantly you have no idea what you're talking about. In the novus ordo, which is the vast majority of Catholics, we recieve under both forms.
In other words that vast majority of Catholics do receive the blood( wine) and have for several decades
Well done, this is a huge & important topic!
Apart from their theological heresies & perhaps because of them, I find Protestants generally irrational & difficult to understand! For example, some regard baptism as optional & symbolic when the bible says otherwise Jn 3:5 & 1 Peter 3:21. Then there is the related immersion debate which is not biblical to say nothing of the persistence with blasphemous rebaptism, which is impossible! Infant baptism is another contentious issue! Likewise, the idea that all sin is sin ie the same is ludicrous when 1 Jn 5 16-18 says otherwise by distinguishing between deadly & non deadly sin.
Protestants must be indoctrinated with many falsehoods about Catholicism, which they blindly accept without verifying for themselves such as
- denying that the CC was established by Jesus Mt 16 18-19
- denying that St Peter was the first Pope with authority delegated to him by Jesus
- denying the infallibility of Popes when officially teaching on faith & morals
- worship of Our Lady & statues,
- deletion of the 2nd Commandment rather than realising it is combined with our 1st Commandment,
- egregious claim that Catholics are guilty of cannibalism because we believe in His True Real Presence Jn 6 51
- claim that the CC added books to the bible, when Luther clearly removed 7 books
- denying that the CC codified the Bible in 382 when the evidence is obvious
- typically believing in a max of 2 sacraments when Jesus clearly instituted more
- disbelieving that the spread & growth in the number of sects is not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-23
- not realising the scandal caused to non believers by existence of 000’s of sects
- believing that Protestantism, caused by personal interpretation without hierarchy & a unifying authoritative interpreter is sustainable as the confusion & division suggests otherwise
- blind to the obvious contradiction that if the Holy Spirit is functioning properly, by definition, there can’t be 000’s of sects, so illogical to argue otherwise
Protestantism doesn’t realise that the generally strident & biased attacks on the CC are effectively disgraceful attacks on Our Lord & His Church. We as Catholics have been too tolerant of these attacks for far too long & plead with Protestants to examine their consciences & to cease such unchristian activity. All Christians should be unified in defending Christianity & the Truth & defending life from conception to natural death & evangelising non Christians
Mount intellectually honest arguments rather than blatant lies & falsehoods to regain credibility. Catholics are not without fault, however, we tend to unknowingly hold to the truth without being able to effectively defend our beliefs
Don’t Protestants realise that Protestantism was the first satanic attack on CC in 1517, followed by Freemasonry in 1717 & Communism in 1917 p, none of which succeeded as Jesus said that the gates of hell would not prevail! Protestantism, with its many “truths” caused relativism with its destructive effect of secularising society ie birth control, abortion, IVF, SSM, LGBGT+ Transgenderism etc
On another topic, Protestantism takes for granted the huge contribution of the CC to the development of Western Civilisation as follows
- schools & universities
- medicine & hospitals
- science & astronomy
- law system from Canon Law
- economics
- double sided accounting
- social services
- human rights
- architecture
- arts & music
etc
which in todays world, is politically incorrect to acknowledge, all covered in an excellent book by Thomas Wood
OF course - since some "Protestants" live the TRUTH of Salvation (being born again of the Holy Spirit) that BY FAITH are ye saved, and that not of yourselves - it's the Gift of God. A Better question is whether Roman Catholics can be saved since they try to ADD their works to the perfect work of Jesus on the cross, making salvation a "Wage" that was earned instead of a Free GIFT from God. Catholics are saved by FAITH in spite of their religious system's heresy, of course.
It’s by faith and obedience most people have faith very few have obedience but why is this? Most refuse to obey Jesus commands it’s ironic when I hear the great Saints say most Catholics are damned but according to your view not only is that untrue but most Protestants are going despite believing Our Lady was a sinner and nothing special , we are in bad times .
How do I become Catholic?
Go to your local Catholic parish & enquire about the RCIA program
@@geoffjs Thanks.
A Protestant can go to purgatory, but it requires several factors to be in place. Firstly, they need to be infallibly ignorant of the fact that the Catholic Church is the only true faith and is the only actual Church. There are people out there who know Catholicism is indeed true, but joining would cause upheaval in their family life so they refuse to join. They will very likely go to hell because Jesus is not important enough to them. Two, they must be following God to the full degree of their understanding. This is actually harder for most people than simply partaking in the Sacraments. Catholics have a color by numbers system that keeps them right on track. Three, they must be repentant and contrite for all their sins. They can’t be living in some mortal sin. A frequent pitfall is divorce and remarriage in the West. These are the major caveats. Even then, only a Catholic can go to heaven, if a Protestant gets there it’s not because they were Protestant, it’s in spite of it, and only through purgatory.
Very true!
I read this post and I think the person who claimed the Catholic Church is the one true Church is wrong. The Catholic Church is so arrogant to think it is the only true Church when it’s the one Church which attempted to change a commandment of God, (Sunday is NOT the Sabbath of God) only God can make a commandment. This Church also promotes praying to a dead woman as if she is able to help whatever request the person is seeking, you do realize that mother Mary is dead don’t you?
Does infallible ignorance mean never changing their beliefs
@@cdmcintyre1854 is Jesus arrogant for saying He is the Way, the Truth and the Life? The Catholic Church is the only Church Christ established. Anything else is a breakaway group, and follows the doctrines of man. St. Mary is not dead, the Bible says that all who are in Christ do not die, so she is alive. And we can pray to her to ask her to pray for us just like we can request any other living Christian to pray for us. As the Mother of God her prayers are close to the heart of Christ, it’s good to have her on your side. Saying St. Mary is dead is a denial of Christ’s victory over death. Lastly, the Church has the ability to make the Sabbath any day, because it is endowed with that authority by God. It chose Sunday because Christ rose on a Sunday after dying in Good Friday.
@@helloimchess it means that they truly don’t know the truth. Even if they have been told it, they still might be infallibly ignorant if they don’t know in their heart and mind that what they heard was true.
Acts 20:27-30
[27]For I have not turned aside in the least from announcing every counsel of God to you.
[28]Take care of yourselves and of the entire flock, over which the Holy Spirit has stationed you as Bishops to rule the Church of God, which he has purchased by his own blood.
[29]I know that after my departure ravenous wolves will enter among you, not sparing the flock.
[30]And from among yourselves, men will rise up, speaking perverse things in order to entice disciples after them.
God is not kind to Rebellious people. It is written all over the bible how God dealt with those kind.

Jesus can save anyone He wishes. Don’t put limits on Our Lord.
Highest probability with Catholic church. Dont try to get salvation on a technicality.
@johnyang1420: Absolutely correct! I’m Catholic too and our Church is the vessel by which Our Lord communicates His saving gospel to the world.
Scripture says faith is obedience. Jesus said, "Teach them to do ALL I commanded you." Protestants don't have ALL Jesus commanded because they threw away Jesus's oral DIVINE TRADITION He taught His Apostles
As a protestant, i wish to make my thoughts known regarding issues with the catholic doctrine
First, how can anyone say that the church is speaking from the holy spirit and so all Christians should be catholic because the holy spirit said so through the church? That sounds like an easy way to manipulate people into joining the Catholic church. What stops protestant churches from claiming the holy spirit is speaking through them that all Catholics are in heresy and need to be protestant? See how that 'claim' has no weight to it.
Then if you bring up that 'the catholic church was the first', i have to disagree. Christ was the foundation of the church but Catholicism isnt the one and only, there were Christians and churches originating in Africa just as early as the Catholic church. One can argue that those african churches were the first churches, not Catholic. Nevermind the fact that the holy spirit dewells in man NOT the church for the body of us men are the temple in which the holy spirit dewells in.
Telling protestants that they have to be catholic or risk going to hell because the catholic church said so sounds like nothing more than fear mongering people to joining for the sake of selfish power, the protestant reformation was a reaction to the heretical catholic church to go back to how Christ originally bulit the church before Catholicism perverted the gospel.
And ask yourself this, if the Catholic church was so correct as the one true church of Christ, why in the world did God allow the protestant reformation to happen to as Catholics would see it 'condemn so many people away from Christ'?
It makes more sense that God let the protestant reformation happen so that Christians can go back to actually having a relationship with Jesus and following his word in the Bible rather than being stuck following the church who has distorted the gospel and made it useless to save.
Salvation is by grace through faith and not of works lest any man should boast
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whosoever believes in him shall not parish but have everlasting life
We are saved by calling onto Christ as our Lord and savior who is God and believing he really did rise from the dead and turning away from our sins and trusting in him.
Being catholic doesnt save anyone, the catholic church doesnt save anyone. Only our faith in Christ ALONE saves and Thank God that we have the honor and freedom to go directly to Him for forgiveness of sins rather than being stuck in a works based church who claims you must go to them for salvation who offer nothing more than cheap grace.
In summary, it is about whether or not you accept the fullness of the Truth in His One True Church & the grace received via the sacraments that He instituted especially baptism Jn 3:5 & His True Real Presence Jn 6 51. If you reject the latter two sacraments, you reject His teaching & so risk your salvation.
The CC is not trying to scare people, merely pointing out the Truth of the CC which people can reject at their own peril.
@geoffjs I know scaring people isn't the goal but the way in which the Catholic church proclaims only the fullness of truth can be received in the 'One True Church' is quite fear inducing, especially when connected to the fact that the Catholic church believes you can only have 'true' communion in a Catholic church or you are not receiving the 'real' presence of Christ.
I believe all Christians should be baptized and take communion but I don't believe we are forced to have to be Catholic in order to receive the fullness of Christ.
The whole idea of the Catholic church with its authority and the Holy Spirit rests within the Catholic church only stems from the idea of it being the 'One True Church', that's just because Catholicism was the first institutionalized form of Christianity recognized by an earthly government.
The Bible speaks on how the temple of the Holy Spirit is the body of a believer and it's the believers that make up the Church of Christ, the TRUE Church (That's why Protestants with all the different denominations still can have deep unification with eachother)
I accept the fullness of truth in the Word of God through the scriptures above all else, I much would rather go to God directly to receive truth than HAVE to go through the Catholic church which teaches things which are not biblical like Purgatory, praying to Mary and the saints, and the idea of being saved by faith + works rather than faith alone.
@@redhitman5311Jesus est His One True Church which is the pillar & foundation of Truth 1 Tim 3:15 & codified your bible in 382AD.
Don’t you see the obvious contradiction of Protestantism with confusion, division & scandal of 000’s of sects which is not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-23 resulting from personal interpretation. The Holy Spirit lead & guides with the Truth but Protestantism has many “truths” hence negating its claims, they can’t all be True, only the CC is!
Protestantism can’t agree on the necessity for baptism & then argue about immersion on which the bible is silent. Infant baptism is another can of worms in spite of Acta 2 38-39 & households being baptised. Protestantism doesn’t believe in the sin of Adam or original sin!
Protestantism rejects His Real True Presence in the Eucharist Jn 6:51 in spite of it being the source & summit of Christianity, go figure!
@geoffjs 1 Tim. 3:15 - The Church of the Living God could just be ANY church that follows Christ for Christ himself is the pillar and foundation of truth. This doesn't prove the Catholic Church is the one true church unless you ASSUME the Catholic Church is the one true church to begin with.
I don't see the contradictions of Protestantism for I don't find confusion in it and Protestants are not divided, Protestants of multiple denominations can come together and all worship Christ, sure we may disagree with secondary issues but we are STILL unified as Brothers and Sisters in Christ because we dont believe in many truths but the ONE truth of the good news found in the Gospel of Christ. As for any scandals, the Catholic church also has had plenty of scandals so you can't use that to knock down Protestantism.
As for Baptism, sure we Protestants disagree on the necessity of water Baptism but that is a secondary issue. There is a solid case that one doesn't NEED to have WATER Baptism to be saved. Are we commanded to take part in water baptism, sure, but to say it's needed for Salvation, that is something we can disagree on and still be unified. As for infant baptism, once again, we can disagree on that and still be unified, baptism isn't a core issue. Baptism is just a work at the end of the day, and we are not saved by works but by grace through our faith alone in which works naturally flows out from. By the way, I don't know any Protestants that don't believe in the sin of Adam or original sin ... unless you are referring to a very small group but Protestants DO believe in original sin.
As for Eucharist, once again, that's a secondary issue, we can disagree if one thinks the bread and wine become the LITERAL body and blood of Christ but one can argue that Christ was talking in metaphors and using symbolism just like when Christ says He is the door or He is the great Vine. Christ wasn't a LITERAL door, it was symbolism just like how the bread and wine when eaten is a symbol of us taking in the body and blood of Christ into us. As for the Eucharist being the 'source & summit' of Christianity... I disagree with that statement, the source and summit of Christianity is the perfect life, death and RESURRECTION of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. The RESURRECTION is the source and summit of Christianity.
@@redhitman5311We don’t assume that the CC is His One True Church, instead we rely on objective history & the early fathers who wrote about the Church in the early years.
We don’t consider baptism & Eucharist as secondary, but instead as primary & essential for salvation with the Holy Mass as the source & summit of Christianity. Protestants claiming to be biblically based are hypocritical when rejecting baptism Jn 3:5 as optional & His Real True Presence Jn 6 51-53 as symbolic, to say nothing of unbiblical sola Scriptura & sole fide. Too much focus on the details, rather than the substance ie no infant baptism & immersion when the bible is silent on both. They can’t agree on whether to use wine or grape juice & refuse to offer liturgical sacrificial worship as commanded by Jesus Jn 6 51-58, so not “church”, more like synagogue with prayer & teaching! Luther himself believed in His Real True Presence
Luther removed 7 books without authority Deut 4:2 & added the word ALONE to Rom 3:28. Can you imagine the uproar if the CC changed one word!
The lack of rational Protestant thinking is unbelievable, which I attribute to darkened intellects starved of grace received via the sacraments that He instituted. Pride keeps you from humbly accepting all the sacraments, which are biblical eg confession Jn 20 21-23, instead, it is disobediently adopting “my way” approach. Marriage as a sacrament has existed since Genesis with Jesus giving it His blessing at the marriage at Cana, the remaining 6 sacraments are biblical, but largely arrogantly ignored by Protestants
For your own sake, open your eyes & acknowledge the many heresies of Protestantism. Out of charity, realise that those who knowingly reject the CC put their salvation at risk as you have no excuse, invincible ignorance is not the 8th sacrament!
how can one have Faith and ignorance at the same time? its a contradiction, Pius IX also said we was taken out of Context.
Can a person believing in scripture alone n obeying all scripture be condemned to hell or lose his salvation? Where can u find some scripture tht says this? U cannot.
N where can U find scripture tht says tht only catholics can be saved. U cannot.
Jesus says that baptism is necessary for salvation Jn 3:5 which many Protestants reject! Likewise, receiving His True Real Presence is also necessary for salvation Jn 6 51 - 54 which Protestantism also rejects! So tell me, how are you saved if you disobey Jesus?
@@geoffjs U are right on all counts
Now pls remember this. All churches hv baptism n the eucharist. Did Jesus say U must be baptised only in the RCC. He didn't. The thief on the cross was not baptised at all. So is he in hell. The apostles n Mary were not baptised in the RCC by sprinkling. So are they saved.
Btw the apostles were born again Christians n they died as christians. N Jesus established his church with the apostles who were fallible Christians. He did not establish another church called RCC with infallible men.
N in deut 12, prov 30 n rev 22 God spoke to Moses David n John saying do not turn to the left or right. Do not add. Those who do, are considered liars n cannot inherit heaven. N Jesus said lying is of the devil.
I hope all this will tell u tht there is wide deception in some churches n the word of God cannot be compromised.
Its strange. All Catholics do not obey the word of God yet they they feel so secure in the RCC.
N btw. When the eucharist is done by pedophiles n sodomites, it cannot change into the real presence. If the RCC claims tht it becomes the real presence, yet pedophile n sodomite priests are allowed to partake of the real presence. It's amazing insanity. Do U hv an answer for this
@@geoffjs so I will ask U the same question. How are U saved if U disobey Jesus. Christians do not disobey Jesus. Here are some things tht cause U to disobey Jesus. Statues, the rosary, scapulars, miraculous medals, novenas, praying to dead humans, making saints, making freemasons saints, using relics from bones, the imm conception, the assumption of Mary, kissing the pope's ring n feet, infallibility, divine mercy n chaplets, first Saturdays, Faustina's diary, the words of Catherine of Siena on the pope, n a lot more. Additions n lying n deception
@@dannyboy6598Listen up! Any baptism properly performed using the words of Mt 28 19 is recognised by the CC. However, the issue is that only the Catholic & Orthodox Churches have properly confected Eucharist as only they have validly ordained priests in an unbroken line of apostolic succession. In any event, most Protestants don’t believe His True Real Presence Jn 6 51, instead, believing it to be symbolic
Baptism of intent I have a problem with because then why baptism at all? If it's only a metaphore then yes intent would work, but we believe a big change is marked on you spiritually when your baptized, so a person without that mark cannot go to heaven
What if you die on your way to get baptized? Bad luck?
Water baptism is permanent and will always be a conduit for grace. Baptism of desire is mercy from God that if through no fault of thier own they do not recieve water baptism, yet desire it, that desire will serve as thier baptism. It is not permanent. The person would need to persist in ignorance and desire until their death for it to save them. Once they lose the desire thats it, or if become aware yet refuse water baptism.
Yes because of catholicsm what they accept/practice from it, and certainly not what they reject or add or subtract from.
Hmmm. How does a faithful Catholic deal with the knowledge that their Protestant spouse will likely go to Hell? I understand that the Catholic spouse is responsible for converting their spouse to the faith. Are the rules different for different people? Unless you are attending a wedding, funeral or the like, you are not to participate in your spouses or anyone’s Protestant services. I think you can go straight to a pot luck dinner though. Why would a spouse of twenty years not convert when her husband has so much knowledge of the faith?
No easy answers, other than prayer & sacrifice.
Every Living Human Being can Saved through JESUS CHRIST.
No. Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus, video over.
This is quite a generous stance towards Protestants. The Orthodox would just say anathema to all of us.

What’s with the monotone voice?
17 verses in the Bibles (catholic and non-catholic bibles) tell us we are saved…..so Catholics and Reformed Christians are saved!
Are Mormons saved? Are Jews and Muslins saved? Just because the Bible says the words "we are saved" does not mean that anyone who reads those words is saved. The bible also outlines how we receive that salvation so by rejecting the way Christ set for us to receive salvation in favor of your own way is a bad idea. Your argument seems to be that the Bible says "we are saved" therefore everyone is saved but that is blatantly anti-Biblical.
Can you lose your salvation?
I wish someone would define the word "SAVED".
No one is saved, or at least not until we die and face judgement. We are redeemed. But it is up to us to accept the gift of redemption Christ has obtained for us. Matthew 19:17, Luke 11:28, John 14:15.

Can They be transformed In Christ?
For Protestants, Salvation is an end point..
For Orthodox and Catholic, Salvation is Not an end, But a beginning!

Protestants have been mis lead, i believe some protestants will be saved, however (and this goes for every denomination) there will be more who are damned than saved, there will be more catholics damned than saved, more orthodox damned than saved, and more protestants damned than saved, a catholic priest died and came back to life and said in his testimony, “The hour i died, 33,000 others did aswell, 2 went to heaven, 3 went to putgatory, and the rest were eternally damned” i know orthodox and Protestants dont believe in purgatory but the bible does say to pray for the dead, anyway i geuss my point is even though the catholic church was the first church and is still the biggest church to this day, if protestants and orthodox really do love jesus and follow him based off of what they strictly believe, God will judge them more on that, because Gods mercy is infinite, but thats just my thoughts and we can never know for sure.
Someone send this to the Diamond “Brothers”
I am Protestant and I know for a fact I am saved. The idea that most Protestant churches you walk into will have a coffee shop at the front door then go into your concert worship ceremony is completely false. For example, the largest Protestant denomination is Anglicanism, which I am apart of, has rich liturgy and administers the sacraments every morning. There are churches who do have the opposing things though and do I think they’re saved? Yes. But I advise against it cause it is often a slippery slope that leads to heresy
According to Wikipedia there are 85 million Anglicans in the world, there also 85 million Assemblies of God in the world. But more to the point, the number of Pentecostal's as a whole is 644 million in world. They are second, as a whole, to us. Add 55 milion baptist and The coffee shop concert christians got you beat by a mile.
Plus they are growing much faster than you, or us
Im sorry, I know everyone accuses me of acting like they are the only Protestants. Well, they are the only Protestants that matter.

Quoting Vatican II weakens resource credibility.
The general consensus among Christians is that Catholics can be saved....but ONLY.....if they reject the Roman Church's many false teachings and accept, by faith, the free gift of salvation purchased by Christ on the cross.
Protestants have no authority ftom Christ or His Apostles to interpret Scripture or decide who is or is not saved. Protestants are heretics
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
So, yes.
Amd this use of God's holy name to push the Vatican's vain, self-serving agenda is why I am willing to risk damnation by following JESUS, and learning all I can from gospels rejected by the Vatican because what the Apostle Peter, the Apostle Thomas, and others who knew Him personally don't happen to fit the narrative which makes the Vatican powerful. I look to Jesus alone for salvation through my personal seeking for and following of Him only. May God, who is not willing that even one be lost, help us all. Amen.

You shouldn't become Catholic or not become Catholic because of a Pope.
You should become Catholic because its the church Christ founded. And there is no salvation outside of it, objectively.
It has nothing to do with Francis. My next video is actually going to be on why we should be Catholic dispite Francis.
You're telling Jesus you'll do his will on your terms
Pope Francis is more of a political figure than a spiritual leader, Jesus is who we should follow.
Friend, the Church is more than the Pope. The head of the Church is Christ Himself. The Pope is the vicar, or CEO, and we know from Jesus teachings on the stewards, they will be called to answer for how they performed, with what was entrusted to them.
If you're "non-denominational", you may not know of everything going on. Firstly the Marian Apparitions and warnings - this is Revelation 12:17 - the Red Dragon fights with the Woman (Jesus is seated as Judge in Rev, he's not fighting the battles for us, otherwise it's a walkover. We have to fight, with help of course. A bit like weightlifting; if someone else lifts the weights, you ain't building muscle). Did you know, for example, Our Lady of Quito (Ecuador) 400 years ago warned of the 20th century, and listed women's loose morals, clothing, and bad elements entering seminary. Our Lady at La Salette (France) warned of famine as chastisement, bad clergy, and "2 rotten popes". Today's confusion - Our Lady at Akita (Japan) said "bishops against bishops" is the work of the devil. Hell is gonna be very crowded.
The point is - everything that is happening, is known to God and angels and saints in heaven. There will be no escape for all these bad characters. What really puzzles me is not the apostasy going on, but rather that these people who have been in seminary, who presumably are reading the bible, and yet continue this way. I could understand an atheist who doesn't know; but clergy?

What about indulgences? What about the catholic church taking peoples money for prayers? Jesus flipped the tables in his Fathers house over money and bribes.
Myth 1: A person can buy his way out of hell with indulgences.
Since indulgences remit only temporal penalties, they cannot remit the eternal penalty of hell. Once a person is in hell, no amount of indulgences will ever change that fact. The only way to avoid hell is by appealing to God’s eternal mercy while still alive. After death, one’s eternal fate is set (Heb. 9:27).
Myth 2: A person can buy indulgences for sins not yet committed.
The Church has always taught that indulgences do not apply to sins not yet committed. The Catholic Encyclopedia notes, “[An indulgence] is not a permission to commit sin, nor a pardon of future sin; neither could be granted by any power.”
Myth 3: A person can “buy forgiveness” with indulgences.
The definition of indulgences presupposes that forgiveness has already taken place: “An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven” (Indulgentarium Doctrina 1, emphasis added). Indulgences in no way forgive sins. They deal only with punishments left after sins have been forgiven.
Myth 4: Indulgences were invented as a means for the Church to raise money.
Indulgences developed from reflection on the sacrament of reconciliation. They are a way of shortening the penance of sacramental discipline and were in use centuries before money-related problems appeared.
Myth 5: An indulgence will shorten your time in purgatory by a fixed number of days.
The number of days which used to be attached to indulgences were references to the period of penance one might undergo during life on earth. The Catholic Church does not claim to know anything about how long or short purgatory is in general, much less in a specific person’s case.
Myth 6: A person can buy indulgences.
The Council of Trent instituted severe reforms in the practice of granting indulgences, and, because of prior abuses, “in 1567 Pope Pius V canceled all grants of indulgences involving any fees or other financial transactions” (Catholic Encyclopedia).
Myth 7: A person used to be able to buy indulgences.
One never could “buy” indulgences. The financial scandal surrounding indulgences that gave Martin Luther an excuse for his heterodoxy, involved indulgences in which the giving of alms to some charitable fund or foundation was used as the occasion to grant the indulgence. There was no outright selling of indulgences. The Catholic Encyclopedia states: “Among the good works which might be encouraged by being made the condition of an indulgence, almsgiving would naturally hold a conspicuous place. . . . To give money to God or to the poor is a praiseworthy act, and, when it is done from right motives, it will surely not go unrewarded.”
