      There is no salvation outside of the Traditional catholic church.
      Pope Palagius II,578-590 A.D.
      Consider the fact that whoever has not been in the peace and unity of the church cannot have the Lord… although given over to flames and fires they burn or thrown to wild beasts they lay down their lives there will not be for them that crown of faith but the punishment of faithlessness such a one can be slain he cannot be crowned if slain outside the Catholic Church he cannot attain the rewards of the Catholic Church.
      Pope Saint Gregory the Great, 590-604 A.D. - now the Holy Traditional Catholic Church proclaims that God cannot be truly worshiped but only within herself, asserting that all they that are outside her shall never be saved !!
      Pope Sylvester II,991 A.D. I profess that outside the Catholic Church no one is saved.
      Pope Innocent III, 1198 to 1216 A.D. 4th Council 12:15 A.D.
      EX-Cathedra Dogma- There is but one universal catholic church of the faithful outside of which no one at all is saved.
      Pope Innocent III,Fitts exemplo, to the Archbishop of Terraco, 18 December,1208. By the heart we believe and by the mouth we confess the one true church not of Heretics but the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church outside of which we believe that no one is saved.
      Pope Innocent III Fourth Laddering Council, Canon 3, on heresy,1215 A.D.,ex-cathedra Dogma those who are only found suspect of heresy hard to be struck with the sword of anathema, excommunication, unless they prove their innocence by an appropriate purgation, having regard to the reasons for suspicion and the character of the person. Let such persons be avoided by all until they have made adequate satisfaction.
      Pope Boniface VIII,1302 A.D.- Ex- Cathedra Dogma. There is only one Catholic Church; this we firmly believe in profess without qualification !! Outside this church there is no salvation nor remission of sin. For at the time of the deluge there existed only one Ark, the figure of the one True Catholic Church and all things outside this Ark perished.
      Pope Eugene IV, 1441 A.D. Ex-Cathedra Dogma, Cantata Domino,Council of Florence - “The most Holy Roman Catholic Church believes professors and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and Heretics and schismatics cannot become participants in eternal life, but will depart, into Everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels unless before the end of life, the same, has been added to the flock; and that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is so strong that only to those remaining in it are the sacraments of the Church of any benefit for salvation, and do fastings, almsgiving, and other functions of piety and exercises of catholic christian service produce Eternal Rewards, and that no one, Whatever arms giving he has practice, even if he has shed his blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the traditional catholic church.
      Pope Leo XII, 1823 to 1829 A.D. We profess that there is no salvation outside the church… for the church is the pillar and ground of the depository of faith ,the traditional Catholic faith. With reference to those words Saint Augustine says: If any be outside the church he will be excluded from the number of sons, and will not have God for a Father since he has not the church for a Mother.
      St Gregory XVI, 1831 to 1846 A.D. It is not possible to worship God truly except in the Catholic Church all who are outside her will not be saved.
      Vatican Council of 1870 Pope
      Pius IX, Session 2, Profession of Faith, Ex Catholic dogma - This True Catholic Faith, Outside of which none can be saved !! which I now freely profess and truly hold, is what I shall steadfastly maintain and confess, by the help of God, in all its completeness and Purity, until my dying breath, and I shall do my best to ensure that all others do the same, this is what I, the same Pius IX, promise, Vow, and Swear.
      Pope Pius IX,Quanta Conficiamur Moerore, on promotion of False Doctrine paragraph 13:10, August 1863. Admonish and exhort them to be strong in our sacred Catholic faith without which it is impossible to please God urge them to preserve firmly in the depository of faith, established in our divine religion which alone is true and eternal and prepares for salvation.
      Pope Pius IX, Nostis et Nobiscum, Paragraph 10, Dec. 8. 1849 -
      “In particular ensure that the faithful are deeply and thoroughly convinced of the truth of the doctrine that - the Catholic faith is necessary for attaining Salvation !! The Catholic laity and clergy should repeatedly offer special thanks to God in public prayers for the Priceless gift of the Catholic religion,- the Depository of Faith. They should also beseech God to protect the profession of this Faith in our country and to keep it pure and unharmed.
      Pope Pius IX,Qui Pluribus, on faith and religion paragraph 20 November 9th 1846 - Never cease to instruct all men in “the depository of faith” the teachings of the church !! Never tolerating and letting pass anything which could in the slightest degree defiled the purity of this faith with the same great strength of heart and mind Foster in all men their Unity with the traditional catholic church outside of which there is no salvation.
      Pope Pius IX, Ubi Primum paragraph 10 June 17th 1847- For there is one Catholic, universal church, outside of which no one at all is saved ; it contains regular and secular prelates along with those under their jurisdiction, who all profess one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.
      Pope Pius IX,Singularity Quidam, paragraph 4 March 17th 1856 there is only one Catholic Divine faith which is the beginning of salvation for mankind and the basis of all justification the Faith by which the just person lives and without which it is impossible to please God and to and to come to the community of his Catholic children.
      Pope Leo XIII, 1878 -1903 A.D. - This is our last lesson to you, receive it, engrave it, in your minds, all of you by God's commandment !! Salvation is to be found nowhere but in the traditional catholic church.
      Pope Pius IX,Qui Pluribus, on faith and religion, Paragraph 15, November 9th,1846 - Also perverse is the shocking Theory that it makes no difference to which religion one belongs, a theory which is greatly at variance even with reason. By means of this Theory, those crafty men remove all distinction between virtue and vice, truth and error, honorable and vile actions !! They pretend that men can gain eternal salvation by the practice of any religion, as if there could ever be any sharing between Justice and inequity, any collaboration between light and darkness, or any agreement between Jesus Christ and Belial.
      All the popes Proclaim and decree the same if you disagree with this your excommunicated from the church you're no longer Catholic you no longer have a father in Heaven nor a mother !!!

      @YAJUN YUAN Baptism in protestantism is not a “wobbly saw” as the sacrament itself, but as for the circumstances it is in (A very diverse and unorganised 16th century heresy founded by a german rebel monk called Martin Luther that mutilated 7 books of the Bible, millennia and a half after Jesus & the Apostles, with no connection to them and in opposition to the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church that does and always did).

As if a 16th century german rebel monk was someone to mutilate the word of God arbitrarily; protestants do are a modern poor delusional lost bunch.

      Jesus said, "Ask and you shall receive," which is my own testimony. That is, raised by an atheist, I heard the gospel for the first time at age 17 through a Catholic movie about Jesus. Shortly thereafter, I walked onto the lawn of a church on night, looked up at the steeple, and prayed my first prayer, "Is there Jesus? I would like to meet Him!" When I met Christ, all heaven filled my soul and it felt like my heart was made out of gold. I have been great friends with Christ ever since.
      Conversely, Catholics teach that baptism and communion are necessary for salvation - all with no assurance of salvation. That said, in 45 years, I have not had even one second of doubt that I know the Lord and am bound for heaven - not even for a second. The Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." Yet, Catholics teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized, and partakes of communion might be saved." Which is the true gospel? Paul wrote that whoever preaches a different gospel should be accursed.
      Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, we can know God. Adding any other condition to being saved is to pollute the pure beauty of the gospel. Jesus Christ is the light of the world

The baptism itself is not defective in bringing one to grace, but the package deal of "Protestant Baptism" comes with defects that aren't conducive to the full flourishing of the spiritual life offered by the Church. Protestant realities have only a partial participation in efficacious reality of the true Church of Christ

      @Troll Patrol Where is the fear and the trembling in my life? Of a truth, when I have been tempted to do something wrong, there is some fear. In fact, God has, in a sense, given me a few good ones on the backside and I love Him for it! Those whom God loves, He chastises.
      Yet, fear does not mark my relationship with God! Fear has been like 0.000000001% of my walk with the Lord. He is my best friend. I know Him, personally. Do you? Or will He say to you, on that great and terrible day, "Depart from me; I never KNEW you"?
      Jesus said, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." Moreover, you meet the Lord just by asking. Have you not read, "Ask and you shall receive"? He did not say, "Ask, do this, do that and you will be saved."
      What you are missing is that those who are united with Christ do not forsake Him. It is written, "Love endures all things." Do you not understand the simple logic that, if it does not endure, it is not love?
      It sounds like you desparately need assurance of your salvation. How do you even know that, were you to die today, you would be in good standing with God? Yet, if you are filled with the Holy Spirit, He will bear witness with your spirit that you are a child of God (Romans 8.16). Then, like me, you can have total assurance of your salvation. In fact, I have not doubted my salvation for even one second in the past 45 years - not even for a second!
      Christ died on a Cross so that we may know Him. Insecurity has no place in the life of a believer. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

      Jesus said, "Ask and you shall receive," which is my own testimony. That is, raised by an atheist, I heard the gospel for the first time at age 17 through a Catholic movie about Jesus. Shortly thereafter, I walked onto the lawn of a church on night, looked up at the steeple, and prayed my first prayer, "Is there Jesus? I would like to meet Him!" When I met Christ, all heaven filled my soul and it felt like my heart was made out of gold. I have been great friends with Christ ever since.
      Conversely, Catholics teach that baptism and communion are necessary for salvation - all with no assurance of salvation.

      There is no salvation outside of the Traditional catholic church.
      Pope Palagius II,578-590 A.D.
      Consider the fact that whoever has not been in the peace and unity of the church cannot have the Lord… although given over to flames and fires they burn or thrown to wild beasts they lay down their lives there will not be for them that crown of faith but the punishment of faithlessness such a one can be slain he cannot be crowned if slain outside the Catholic Church he cannot attain the rewards of the Catholic Church.
      Pope Saint Gregory the Great, 590-604 A.D. - now the Holy Traditional Catholic Church proclaims that God cannot be truly worshiped but only within herself, asserting that all they that are outside her shall never be saved !!
      Pope Sylvester II,991 A.D. I profess that outside the Catholic Church no one is saved.
      Pope Innocent III, 1198 to 1216 A.D. 4th Council 12:15 A.D.
      EX-Cathedra Dogma- There is but one universal catholic church of the faithful outside of which no one at all is saved.
      Pope Innocent III,Fitts exemplo, to the Archbishop of Terraco, 18 December,1208. By the heart we believe and by the mouth we confess the one true church not of Heretics but the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church outside of which we believe that no one is saved.
      Pope Innocent III Fourth Laddering Council, Canon 3, on heresy,1215 A.D.,ex-cathedra Dogma those who are only found suspect of heresy hard to be struck with the sword of anathema, excommunication, unless they prove their innocence by an appropriate purgation, having regard to the reasons for suspicion and the character of the person. Let such persons be avoided by all until they have made adequate satisfaction.
      Pope Boniface VIII,1302 A.D.- Ex- Cathedra Dogma. There is only one Catholic Church; this we firmly believe in profess without qualification !! Outside this church there is no salvation nor remission of sin. For at the time of the deluge there existed only one Ark, the figure of the one True Catholic Church and all things outside this Ark perished.
      Pope Eugene IV, 1441 A.D. Ex-Cathedra Dogma, Cantata Domino,Council of Florence - “The most Holy Roman Catholic Church believes professors and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and Heretics and schismatics cannot become participants in eternal life, but will depart, into Everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels unless before the end of life, the same, has been added to the flock; and that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is so strong that only to those remaining in it are the sacraments of the Church of any benefit for salvation, and do fastings, almsgiving, and other functions of piety and exercises of catholic christian service produce Eternal Rewards, and that no one, Whatever arms giving he has practice, even if he has shed his blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the traditional catholic church.
      Pope Leo XII, 1823 to 1829 A.D. We profess that there is no salvation outside the church… for the church is the pillar and ground of the depository of faith ,the traditional Catholic faith. With reference to those words Saint Augustine says: If any be outside the church he will be excluded from the number of sons, and will not have God for a Father since he has not the church for a Mother.
      St Gregory XVI, 1831 to 1846 A.D. It is not possible to worship God truly except in the Catholic Church all who are outside her will not be saved.
      Vatican Council of 1870 Pope
      Pius IX, Session 2, Profession of Faith, Ex Catholic dogma - This True Catholic Faith, Outside of which none can be saved !! which I now freely profess and truly hold, is what I shall steadfastly maintain and confess, by the help of God, in all its completeness and Purity, until my dying breath, and I shall do my best to ensure that all others do the same, this is what I, the same Pius IX, promise, Vow, and Swear.
      Pope Pius IX,Quanta Conficiamur Moerore, on promotion of False Doctrine paragraph 13:10, August 1863. Admonish and exhort them to be strong in our sacred Catholic faith without which it is impossible to please God urge them to preserve firmly in the depository of faith, established in our divine religion which alone is true and eternal and prepares for salvation.
      Pope Pius IX, Nostis et Nobiscum, Paragraph 10, Dec. 8. 1849 -
      “In particular ensure that the faithful are deeply and thoroughly convinced of the truth of the doctrine that - the Catholic faith is necessary for attaining Salvation !! The Catholic laity and clergy should repeatedly offer special thanks to God in public prayers for the Priceless gift of the Catholic religion,- the Depository of Faith. They should also beseech God to protect the profession of this Faith in our country and to keep it pure and unharmed.
      Pope Pius IX,Qui Pluribus, on faith and religion paragraph 20 November 9th 1846 - Never cease to instruct all men in “the depository of faith” the teachings of the church !! Never tolerating and letting pass anything which could in the slightest degree defiled the purity of this faith with the same great strength of heart and mind Foster in all men their Unity with the traditional catholic church outside of which there is no salvation.
      Pope Pius IX, Ubi Primum paragraph 10 June 17th 1847- For there is one Catholic, universal church, outside of which no one at all is saved ; it contains regular and secular prelates along with those under their jurisdiction, who all profess one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.
      Pope Pius IX,Singularity Quidam, paragraph 4 March 17th 1856 there is only one Catholic Divine faith which is the beginning of salvation for mankind and the basis of all justification the Faith by which the just person lives and without which it is impossible to please God and to and to come to the community of his Catholic children.
      Pope Leo XIII, 1878 -1903 A.D. - This is our last lesson to you, receive it, engrave it, in your minds, all of you by God's commandment !! Salvation is to be found nowhere but in the traditional catholic church.
      Pope Pius IX,Qui Pluribus, on faith and religion, Paragraph 15, November 9th,1846 - Also perverse is the shocking Theory that it makes no difference to which religion one belongs, a theory which is greatly at variance even with reason. By means of this Theory, those crafty men remove all distinction between virtue and vice, truth and error, honorable and vile actions !! They pretend that men can gain eternal salvation by the practice of any religion, as if there could ever be any sharing between Justice and inequity, any collaboration between light and darkness, or any agreement between Jesus Christ and Belial.
      All the popes Proclaim and decree the same if you disagree with this your excommunicated from the church you're no longer Catholic you no longer have a father in Heaven nor a mother !!!

      @@radamanthus Hi. Thanks for writing. First, please do not label me as a 'protestant.' I heard the gospel from by watching a Catholic movie. Moreover, I met Christ while alone on the lawn of a church one night. I simply read the Bible and obey it. I hope that you will too!
      That said, how do you know that you are on the right road and not one of those who say, "Lord, Lord," but will not enter heaven? For example, have you studied, weighed the evidence, made double certain that you are right? Yet, what does the Word of God say? "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding." I know that I am saved because I am friends with the most high God. We are the best of friends, so I never feel insecure about my eternal standing. In fact, I have not doubted my salvation, even for a second, in the last 45 years. That is because my fellowship with God is continuous.
      I say this in all love and respect: I strongly urge you to read your Bible, as you seem not to be very aware of its content. For example, I encourage you to read every passage about the pharisees and compare it the Catholic church. Both are an outward show, yet those who humbly call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved! No, no religious rites are necessary for salvation.

There's another claim if really believe you'll do the sacrement which one of the new testament authors said that or where is that in the bible come on now it's not there And I don't believe any man (living today) is in authority that wasn't one of the New Testament authors inspired by God to write what they did can add to the requirement to salvation become on reason with me now your claims aren't rooted in reason reply if you want i'd love to continue this convo.

Grace is required to be Saved and Grace can only come to us in the Sacraments. If you deny the Sacraments then you deny Christ.

These are merely ceremonies that remind us of the deep truths of the gospel

    "Build a house with greater ease". I don't understand this business of "ease". What about Catholics who receive the sacraments frequently and still find themselves mired in the grips of sin. What's easy about it for them? The matter of ease seems like a quantifiable question which can thus be tested. Am I to infer that, on average, a non Catholic alcoholic is to do worse than a Catholic alcoholic who tries to put his heart into his confessions and worthily (in the Pauline sense) receive communion only to relapse worse than before?
    Unless many confessions are invalid, which would explain some of this away, then I'm not sure what "easier" means.
    This case of the alcoholic is just one of many cases people find themselves in. Not just sins of the flesh, but all sorts of spiritual sins. What does the Church offer in terms of medicine for these miserable afflictions and vicious conditions so that people can get out of them and build their spiritual dwellings in the tranquility of good order before it's too late?

      To answer your question, there is certainly a subjective element to sin, what is hard for one might be easy for another, however we all struggle more with certain kinds of sin. A Protestant who over drinks will be able to detach themselves from alcohol easier than a Catholic alcoholic for this specific sin, but that same Protestant might struggle with lust more than that Catholic. Rather than focusing on the specific sin, if we focus on the believer and the temptation towards the sin that afflicts them the most, I think the Catholic Church does provide more to help with the repentance of sin in general. If you find two believers, one Catholic, and one Protestant who both struggle a lot with a sin, the Catholic objectively has more tools at their disposal and will have an easier time repenting of their sins. That isn't to say the Protestant won't, but that the pathway to repentance and healing is much clearer for the Catholic through the Eucharist and reconciliation, whereas the Protestant has no such structure to aid them and would need to compensate with pure will, and if they do succeed in spite of this, how much easier would it had been for them had they had the sacraments?

      The Catholic Church teaches Eph 2:8-9 but after Justification, comes Sanctification whereby we live out the process of being made holy and do God's work (Eph 2:10 and James 2:24). John 15 also tells us that unless we abide in Christ, he will prune us and toss us into the fire (and he's talking about his followers here). Yes, you have been saved by grace, through faith but you can't just sit back and do nothing. This is not work based salvation because one is already saved.

      When a Catholic comes to God and is justified, it happens without any merit on their part. Neither our faith nor our works-nor anything else-merits justification. The Council of Trent thus denies the very thing you fear it asserts. God doesn’t simply declare us righteous. He also makes us righteous in justification. Thus the Council of Trent defined justification as “not only a remission of sins but also the sanctification and renewal of the inner man” (DJ 7). So at the beginning of the Christian life, God forgives our sins and gives us the gift of righteousness.
      But he’s not done with us. He wants us to grow in righteousness over the course of the Christian life, and, if we cooperate with his grace, we will (James 2:24, John 15).
      Catholic theology refers to this growth in righteousness still using the term justification (Protestants tend to use just sanctification) so, in Catholic language, justification isn’t just a one time event. It happens over the course of our Christian life. Possibly, this is where you have become confused?

    Three of them are absolutely necessary for salvation. One of the necessary ones is holy orders, though of course not everyone needs to obtain this for it's necessary effect. But it is necessary that some do so that they can distribute other sacraments. Another one is baptism, As our Lord stated that one cannot enter the kingdom of heaven if they have not been born again of water and the spirit, though the Catholic church recognizes that anyone can perform a baptism, especially in an emergency, and even that some can be baptized by the mere desire for it if there is no opportunity for the complete sacrament. The final sacrament that is necessary for salvation is confession when we fall, and while God can bestow the graces of confession separately from the confessional itself, it is God's intention that we avail ourselves to the established means of these and other sacramental graces, that we may better participate in the order He has ordained.

      @@kenshiloh Communion is not necessary for salvation, it only remediates venial sins, in fact to receive communion in a state of mortal sin damns one further. And baptism can even be had through baptism of desire, which is to say if one knew it was necessary for salvation they would desire it, and as long as they die in the state that they would desire it, the graces of it will be granted to them. And the same goes for confession. If someone baptized dies while in the sincere intention to confess their sins, God's mercy will not allow them to fall into Hell. What God cares about ultimately in matters of salvation is that we Love Him in the way He has loved us. Such that if a primitive tribesman who has not even heard the gospel looks at creation in wonder and love for it's creator, even he may be saved. That said we make his salvation more certain by bringing to Him the Gospel and the Church.
      All that said while the graces of all the sacraments except holy orders can of course be conferred by God without the actual sacramental rite itself, they are in fact the means that we can be certain will grant those graces, and by participating in them we glorify God by taking our reserved place in the hierarchy of creation and order of grace assigned to us.

      @@sethapex9670 Hi. Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. I am a bit confused, as you say that communion is not necessary for salvation. I agree, but your Catholic contemporaries claim that you cannot be saved without communion, as in, "Unless you eat the Son of Man, you have no life in you."
      Moreover, I think you contradict the Lord on so many points. For example, Jesus said that we must be born of water and the Holy Spirit and Catholics maintain that 'born of water' refers to baptism. Therein lies the problem: the 'baptism of desire' has not water! Hence, you negate the words of Christ. That is, if 'born of water' is baptism, then without baptism, they cannot be saved - including the 'waterless' baptism of desire!
      Moreover, what do you do with the words of Christ, "Whoever belives on Me will have eternal life." No baptism, no communion required. Simply believe on Christ, Who said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him." Ask and you shall receive! To 'believe' on the Lord Jesus implies an infilling of the Holy Spirit, a faith borne of personal friendship with Christ, born into the family of God, seated in the heavenlies with Him. Yet, you are teaching the rules of men, something Christ warned you not to do.
      Do you know Christ or just know about Him? Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, we can be born again. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

      @@kenshiloh it is first important to know that Christ didn't leave us a book but a church and the Church compiled the scriptures centuries later. Thus the authority of the scriptures themselves derives entirely from the authority Christ vested in His Church to make such determinations of works to include and interpretations of the scripture included. Baptism, and indeed the graces of all the sacraments, except holy orders, can be granted directly by God to people without the need for the sacrament itself because God would not begrudge someone who earnestly wants to Love Him the graces necessary to do so. Communion is not necessary for salvation because it in itself does not forgive mortal sin, only venial sins, which don't completely separate one from God in the first place. If one dies with Mortal sin on their heart, they are turned away from God and will continue in that direction for the rest of eternity, which is the definition of Hell. If they die either fresh from baptism or confession, or the graces of these sacraments otherwise bestowed, they are oriented towards God and will continue towards Him for the rest of eternity, which is salvation and ultimately Heaven. Make no mistake purgatory is not some in between place. All in purgatory are saved. They are those who died without mortal sin but with venial sins, and are still in the process of being perfected before they can enter Heaven, analogous to the refining of gold, a process you might call sanctification. In the Catholic view this process takes a lifetime at minimum, and for some people can take several. For this reason we should strive to Love God as much as possible in this lifetime so that we can minimize and potentially eliminate any time we must spend in purgatory.
      Regarding baptism, the view that water baptism is the only means by which the graces of that sacrament can be can be granted is contrary to the Council of Trent. God is sovereign and can grant any graces He deems fit to anyone, but again we best show our love for Him by participating in the means He has ordained and made certain for us to obtain said graces. ua-cam.com/video/JNmq1_Bu-mQ/v-deo.html

    “Signifies”
    So you disagree that it is literally Jesus Christ we eat and consume in your in our stomach not Spiritually every Sunday?
    Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Hebrews 9:22
    CCC 1367: “The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different." "And since in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner. . . this sacrifice is truly propitiatory."
    Is Jesus Christ a victim?
    Or did he choose to suffer and die on the cross for our sins willingly?
    Catholicism says Jesus is a victim.
    Matthew 26:53: “Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?”
    Jesus at any moment could have said I’ve had enough screw this but no, he saw our sins past, present, and future and shed his blood on the cross not at the last supper. Blood sweat and tears on that cross.
    Bloody gruesome death.
    Catholicism comes up with this doctrine of Transubstantiation in 1215 AD
    Transubstantiation is a heretical doctrine. In the Catechism CCC 1374-1378, it is believed that the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ is truly in Eucharist. Catholics take John 6:53 literally and that is why the Catholic Church came up with this doctrine that every Sunday u sacrifice Jesus again and take him down from Heaven and take his flesh and blood and eat and drink it. But there is no flesh or blood in Heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:50. Jesus was sacrificed once and for all. Jesus did not endorse cannibalism. Jesus’s blood was not shed yet at the last supper. Jesus turned water into wine John 2:9 not wine into his literal blood. Jesus said these things I say to you are Spirit and life. John 6:63. Hebrews 10:10,12,14. The priests keep doing sacrifices every week like but it is not sufficient nor necessary Hebrews 10:11. To think that for 1250 years only 12 people had life in them is preposterous.
    Btw, Judas Iscariot partook in the last supper which by Catholics understanding, had life in him when he did that. Judas ate Jesus.
    Paul was not at the last supper but I think we can both agree he had more life in him than Judas or any of the 12 disciples.
    Judas didn’t eat Jesus’s flesh he ate the bread but the disciples ate the bread and the flesh.
    It is symbolic.
    Jesus said he is the bread of life. John 6:35. Jesus said he is the door. John 10:9. Jesus said man shall not live by bread alone. Matthew 4:4. Jesus said give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11. Jesus is not saying we have to eat bread everyday or only bread. Jesus is saying it as Spiritual food, not physical food. Jesus gave it as physical food to the Israelites back then but not now. Now it is and it has always been Spiritual. Transubstantiation according to Catholicism is, “When the priest announces the words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne, and places Him upon Our altar to be offered up again as the Victim for the sins of man It is a power greater than that of saints and angels. The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's cornmand”-Priest John O’Brien.
    This is why Catholics can not know if they have eternal life is because they have a temporal atonement of sins.
    1 John 5:13: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.”
    Jesus said it clear on the cross.
    “IT IS FINISHED” John 19:30.

      It is catholic teaching that the grace of God is in no way limited to the sacraments, as if the institution of the sacraments somehow prevents God from working outside of them. However salvation is always through the catholic church in the sense that the church is the body of Christ, and if by overflowing grace God save a man outside of formal participation in the church, that man is still grafted to the one body of Christ, and therefore saved through the church.
      So I guess the answer is it is still possible to be given the gift of unity with God without having formally received any sacraments, by God's overabundant, extraordinary grace. The patriarchs and righteous dead before Christ, and even the thief crucified next to christ all were given salvation without formally receiving the sacraments
      All that said, the normal means of salvation is the sacraments given to the church, and just like how baptism of desire or how a perfectly contrite heart can suffice if baptism or confession are unavailable, that efficacy still assumes that once (if) the situation changes, the person does seek the normal sources of grace (in these examples baptism or confession)

      Dear Glenn,
      We appreciate your taking the time to watch the video and comment. Please see below for the Catechism of the Catholic Church, #846-848:
      “Outside the Church there is no salvation”
      846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers? Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body:
      Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it [Lumen Gentium 14].
      847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:
      Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience-those too may achieve eternal salvation [Lumen Gentium 16].
      848 “Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men [Ad Gentes 7].”

      @@ThomisticInstitute You are quoting from lumen gentium promulgated by ANTIPOPE Paul VI, and Ad Gentes all documents from this heretical Vatican II sect. No wonder new age Catholics believes that even atheist, who don't even believe in God "might be" in heaven, from John XXIII to Francis, all of them are clear cut heretics, who doesn't even remotely believe in Chirst. "Pope" Franics doesn't even believe in Hell. Vatican II is the whore of Babylon mentioned in the Apocalypse. The last true pope was Pope Pius XII. We are in the great apostasy! the final spiritual crisis mentioned in the Apocalypse.

      Sed contra, the position you put forth is actually heresy due to its implications. God does not predestine anyone for hell; if he were to make this tribesman and didn’t give him any means to receive salvation, then this is an act of predestination to hell. God still gives those who don’t know him or the Church some graces, and as long as they cooperate with these graces and follow their conscience to the best of their ability, then we can hope they will be saved.
      Please read Lumen Gentium.

      Jesus said, "Ask and you shall receive," which is my own testimony. That is, raised by an atheist, I heard the gospel for the first time at age 17 through a Catholic movie about Jesus. Shortly thereafter, I walked onto the lawn of a church on night, looked up at the steeple, and prayed my first prayer, "Is there Jesus? I would like to meet Him!" When I met Christ, all heaven filled my soul and it felt like my heart was made out of gold. I have been great friends with Christ ever since.
      Conversely, Catholics teach that baptism and communion are necessary for salvation - all with no assurance of salvation. That said, in 45 years, I have not had even one second of doubt that I know the Lord and am bound for heaven - not even for a second. The Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." Yet, Catholics teach, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized, and partakes of communion might be saved." Which is the true gospel? Paul wrote that whoever preaches a different gospel should be accursed.
      Christ died on a Cross so that, just by asking, we can know God. Adding any other condition to being saved is to pollute the pure beauty of the gospel. Jesus Christ is the light of the world

      ​@@GenesiusOfWalsingham Like I said before, Lumen Gentium is a heretical Vatican II document. And no it's not a heresy, it's true that God doesn't predestine anyone to hell, but the Gospels and the teachings of the Church is clear cut, even from the words of Jesus himself, that "no one" is going to Heaven by not knowing him, baptized, and doing what needs to be done to saved. Jesus says all men should be baptized, NO EXCEPTIONS. Jesus didn't say "except those who don't hear the gospels, etc" the words of the Gospels are clear, "All, every man, etc" they didn't make exceptions. In the case of these "tribesmen" who never heard about the Gospels, It's not our job to question how God works, God demands to believe in him FIRST, and understand SECOND. "Blessed are those who didn't see me but believed..." he said to Thomas when he doubted. God knows everything, and God knows who will receive his words, and those who will not.

    I am a Catholic and a former anti- Catholic. I would not send this toy protestant friend as it shows no scripture evidence of the saraments and it false short in the Truth of why protestant baptism is not good enough. Though the can be saved their reward in heaven will not be as great, you must expound more on that truth to make this talk more effective . Nonetheless it was still good

      Outside the blood of Jesus there is no salvation. Only Jesus saves. Sacraments, rosaries, good works, and attending mass or any church service does not save. When we trust the blood of Jesus to wash our sins away we are saved. Peter and Paul warned that people would bring another gospel and violate the true Gospel.

    All these traditions and rules espoused by the Catholic church are all based on the word of men and not the word of God. The sacraments are a heresy that will send you straight to hell if you depend on them for your salvation. You must call upon the Lord to save you and that is all that is required for salvation.
    Romans 10:9-10 KJV
    9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
    10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
    John 12:47-48 KJV
    47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
    48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
    Hebrews 10:9-14
    9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
    10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
    11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
    12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
    13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
    14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified

    This video is almost completely devoid of scripture. Scripture is God breathed (2 Timothy 3:16) so it should held in high regard… even higher than men we respect. This man is lost if he thinks we get saved by building a “spiritual” house. If you reading this think that it depends on your building pls read the Bible. Start with the book of Romans (also written by Paul) where it states clearly that we are justified by faith in Christ alone. He then works in us to produce those works….. but they are a fruit of salvation, NOT done to earn salvation. The guy on the cross next to Jesus went to heaven because he had faith in Jesus and repented of his sins. What work did he have but to stand up to the guy bad mouthing Jesus. If your house is built on your earning you way to Gods grace then it’s wood, stubble and hay but if it’s based on a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus it’s based on the love of God and HIS power. That relationship must begin with acknowledging the truth of who Jesus is, that he took your place on the cross and that you want to make Him lord of your life. But make no mistake that it’s not earning your salvation because He motivates us. Romans 3:28.

    Hey father, with all due respect to your person and to your teaching, don't you think this is a dangerous teaching?
    I get why a real ignorant tribesmen can be saved, but a jewish and a protestant?
    Jewish people by definition reject the messiah and protestants by definition reject the church, how can they be saved after that?
    For your analogy to work you will need to say that only really ignorant protestans and ignorant jewish can build a "house" and it is not a safe bet.
    More can be said on that, if another religions can actually "build a house" then why anybody on earth would like to do it in the most difficult way?
    Catholic way is the most difficult, confession is no joke and is very difficult to bring down the pride to do it, if i "can build a house" even if it is mediocre house, why would i want a bigger but difficultier long life building house?
    All of this innecessary nonsense of wanting to grant salvation to clear heretics is very modern, whitout confession, and baptism nobody can be saved,
    i do not understand why we have to downgrade our 2000 year doctrine just for the sake of clear heretics "salvation" who died with a confussing baptism and no confession.
    I think that it is logically clear that there is just hope for actual real ignorants.
