You can't "lose" what you don't have... Christians aren't saved yet - we have a shot at Salvation but that's the extent of it in this life. "Losing one's Salvation" is meaningless in Catholic theology: it's a Calvinist phrase and doesn't belong in our vocabulary...

[@Psalm_xxiii]

Of course you can lose and regain your salvation as a Catholic. What do you think the sacrament of confession is for.

@@Psalm_xxiii You're not 'saved' simply for having gone to confession... You're on the road to Salvation - but you're not there yet. Only in Heaven will you be in a position to claim that you have been saved... Baptism and Confession JUSTIFY us: they don't 'save' us. Now that you have been born spiritually through Baptism or 'reborn' through Confirmation, you must lead a saintly life for the Greater Glory of God, our Heavenly Father. This is called Sanctification and it is chiefly the work of the Holy Ghost - not ours - who is initially received in the Sacrament of Confirmation and whose Presence in our lives is deepened by Communion. Only when you have put this earthly life to good use will you be in a position to claim, IN RETROSPECT, that you have been saved

​@@superapex2128 Semantics. Without justification there is no salvation. So if you can lose your justification and restore it, then the same applies to your salvation.

[@superapex2128]

@@Psalm_xxiii It is not just semantics: not differentiating the two is what makes Calvinism possible. Have you ever heard of ''Once saved' always saved'? Salvation ''security'' is a major component of Calvinism: we don't want to be using calvinist phraseology because it describes a state of affairs which simply does not exist. Why would you refute something which is embedded in the very language you use? If it's not true, don't use it yourself!

[@Psalm_xxiii]

@@superapex2128 Because Dr Haddad is an apologist. He is using their terminology to prove a point. Obviously Catholics don't believe in the doctrine once saved always saved.
