When i became a Catholic, i was just 16 years old. I was formally accepted into the Church via Baptism at the age of 18. I went from being an atheist to a believer almost overnight. People asked me who brought me into the Church? For YEARS I failed to understand the significance of this, because i thought EVERYONE experienced this, but I had no idea in which denomination i should find Gods True Church. So i asked Him. And HE brought me here Himself. Some time later, I began hearing about this ecumenism, and the subsequent watering down of the teaching that outside the Church, there is no salvation. I foubd myself arguing against cradle Catholics and priests. And was still in my late teens and early 20s. And for the record, it has been 50 years since i accepted the truths of the Catholic Church. At no time have i ever found a reason to think differently.

Beautiful testimony! I think they are stuck in a horizontal, and plain human thought process. They don’t get IT. I’m a cradle Catholic and am in awe of your conversion by Him alone! Just beautiful!

True. It’s not being nice. This is the result of poor or nonexistent catechesis among Catholics. It doesn’t mean one shouldn’t be nice, but niceness isn’t a ticket to Heaven. I know openly “gay” people, sexual deviants, who are “nice.” You won’t find them spitting or cursing people at Rosary Rallies. Nonetheless, unless they repent and follow Our Lord in the Church HE founded, they remain barred from God’s presence. As for those who die without baptism before the age of accountability, those who are simple-minded, who die without ever hearing of Christ, God knows, we don’t. We DO know that Our Lord is both 100% merciful and 100% just. There is much beyond human understanding. This, I believe, is among them. The question is not so much in knowing where this or that soul went, but in trusting God with the matter.

I was fervently anti-Catholic. Not quite atheist but not practicing any faith - 2 years ago. And I woke up one morning stirred by what I call the spirit telling me to go to the Catholic Church. I thought it was weird but went. They announced RCIA that day starting Monday. So I went. And kept going. At the end I was still very unsure about the real presence of Christ in Eucharist. I prayed (last February) that if God bring a Eucharist miracle I’d tell everyone how real it is. And I kid you not, on my birthday March 5th, a Eucharist miracle was granted. You can look it up on google. I now attend the Latin mass 1-2 times weekly and absolutely devote myself to the church and to Christ.

[@marccrotty8447]

Orange. It is good that your miracle was granted. Even so, base your faith on Catholic Doctrine and Morals. Think of the many thousands at Fatima who witnessed the "Miracle of the Sun" yet did not change their lives. Live each day in a constant, regular manner. Don't look for extraordinary signs.

Do I think that means there is NO CHANCE for salvation for NON-CATHOLIC, of course not! Anyone can be saved by God, but I would assert that the most convincing sign of that salvation is when that person purposes to join the Catholic Church. Sadly I am not convinced many Catholics are headed to heaven. They seem to work so hard to go to Hell, why would anyone be surprised after such diligence they do not make it?

@@PaulWashington.. the new testament isn't a compilation of all doctrines of Christians, the epistles are mostly pastoral, they were written to encourage and correct Christian churches that already knew the teachings of the apostles. It's very easy to grab a verse here or there in the n.t and say "this is what this means," that's why there's so many different human interpretations aka heresies. In order to have a deeper understanding of what the early church believed it's important to read from the early church fathers, particularly those who knew the apostles personally, that way you can see what the early Christians practised and believed. And if you do this, you will clearly see that the early church strongly believed in apostolic succession, a priesthood, episcopate etc, everything you'd find in apostolic churches. Go see for yourself

[@batboy49]

@@PaulWashington.. Jesus Christ most assuredly did found the Chuch. In fact he simply told the church to "teach all that I have taught you". 18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. 19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. (Math 28:18-20). Only one book of the Sacred Scriptures was commanded by Jesus to be directly written and THAT was the book of the Apocalypse. The REST were written BY THE CHURCH...FOR THE CHURCH under the authority given by Christ to TEACH. The protection that Christ gave was not for a perfect book, but for a TEACHING CHURCH. If you cannot believe that TEACHING CHURCH on the canon of Scipture then you cannot believe the Scripture itself because IT was determined by the Church. Apostolic Tradition is actually ASSUMED in this statement of Christ and the principal authority is for Apostolic Tradition NOT SCRIPTURE. Scripture is dependent on Apostolic Tradition and Church Teaching for its own authority. The total lie is that Christ wrote a single line of Scripture, or that Scripture came to us outside of Apostolic Tradition. He founded THE CHURCH. He founded the CHURCH for everyone. He founded the UNIVERSAL CHURCH which of course IS the Catholic Church. Quicumque vult salvus esse ut teneat Catholicam Ecclesiam integram...That was penned BEFORE the canon of Scripture was settled on. To reject the institution of the Catholic Church, is simply to reject Christ. QUOD EST VERITATEM, potesne videre? Esne caecus?

Praying for the deceased can relieve a lot of this sadness and trust in the mercy of God. Once we are with Jesus depending on how well we have run the race we will be happy.

And let us add that Angels can give Holy Communion if circumstances and need require, teach the Faith and also baptize, thus saving and feeding souls who God sees sincerely desire the Truth and thirst for salvation, wherever they are. We see this Angelic ministry of the Eucharist when the Angel gave the Fatima shepherdesses Communion and also at Garabandal - And if the Eucharist, surely the Sacrament of Baptism also, without which, as the Church teaches, no person is regenerated in Christ and can be saved. "Whoever says that Baptism is optional, that is, not necessary for salvation: let him be anathema." ( Council of Trent, Session 7, Canon 5, on the Sacrament of Baptism ). St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that if a a person lives in circumstances that, humanly speaking, make it impossible to learn the Faith and be baptized ,If The God,who knows the hearts of all men, sees that the person is properly disposed (of good will), He would send a missionary even by supernatural means ( ie., bilocation, which has happened before), or an Angel to enlighten him/her and administer the Sacrament.

I have been to Mass, but haven't participated in the Eucharist because I dont know that I should considering my reservations. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Brother, the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church is founded by Jesus Christ and holds the faith passed down by the Apostles to the Fathers, and from the Fathers to Christendom, and from Christendom to us. If anyone denies this faith, it is *they* who have departed. You should not depart. Your departure from the eternal Ark of Salvation is desired by Satan but not desired by God. It is true that the hierarchy has been corrupted by intelligencers and Gnostic sectarians. For whatever reason, God has allowed this evil to afflict us (though He does not cause it; that is due to man's misuse of free will). It is our role to cling to Jesus Christ especially in the Most Holy Eucharist. Check out the SSPX, FSSP or other faithful traditional orders to find greater reverence and firmer teaching.

[@aseeker2109]

Jesus was subject to Judas' betrayal, so we should expect there to be contemporary Judases. There has always been a struggle in the Church against the truth of the Deposit of Faith. Remember the heresy of the Donatists, even though a priest may become heterodox, the Holy Mass he celebrates is still valid. If you pray, Satan will niether be able to hinder you nor block you on the way of holiness. Together, let us pray for the Church and the salvation of souls.

I am a convert and I am doing my best to honor the authority of the Catholic church. What I want to know is, that my great aunt raised me along with her sister my grandmother. She was born in 1913 when children obeyed their parents full stop. Her parents converted to SDA when she was 16 years old. She accepted it completely. She raised me to be an SDA. They are a hazardous group as they have you fully covered from birth to grave. All of your needs are met, plus they really hate all Catholics. The normal stuff, whore of Babylon, anti-christ, etc. I know she was a Christian, I saw daemons run from her. I credit my still being alive because of her prayers when I ran away from home. I put her into the category of people who need someone else to think for them. She had no information except what the church gave her but they told her it was a sin to read anything else than what they gave her including the Bible. They only approved the KJV and most of it was filtered through Ellen G. White. She would have made a great Catholic because she would have accepted all authority no questions asked. I am a bit different. I have to question everything and everything has to make sense to me before I will accept it. I can accept purgatory for someone like her but I struggle with the notion that she would have been sent to hell just because she was brainwashed by a cult. She lived her entire life as a born-again virgin. She was married once and he left her. She never remarried at 30 years old. She worked at an SDA hospital she gave faithfully 10% of her pension and 5% in offerings even when we did not have the money she gave anyway and said God would provide. And he always did. What am I to make of all of this, please and thank you,

I am a Protestant. I respect the Catholic church’s own perspective, but have you guys considered what happened to many Protestants when they received Jesus as their saviour, having the Spirit live and work in their hearts n in their lives? Many brought forth good fruit of Christ-like character n good works, zeal for the evangel , plus often manifesting the power of charismatic gifts, martyrdom for love of souls etc? And all these are just human product or demonic? They all go to hell? Please pause for a minute n seek God on this n not just hold onto a set of rigid dogma, though we do need n respect dogma but there’s the Spirit’s work we need to observe in real life too. Notice the early Jewish church had a hard time believing the Spirit could pour upon gentiles too. And how about the Orthodox Church, technically not in the Catholic fold and they don’t accept the papacy as universal head? They, with all their saints n martyrs and 1000 years of celebration of the Sacrifice, all go to hell too? I am not saying Catholics should ignore your historical perspective. But have u left room for Christ for the other “separate flocks”? Would it be possible those belivers are actually saved outside or b4 they enter the membership of the Catholic Church? I wish the Catholic Church, being the historical elderest bro, would be more open n have the humility n wisdom to acknowledge the Spirit’s work outside your administration.

These are trying times for everybody since, 'the smoke of Satan has entered the Church, "-said by Paul VI. Fear can appear as smugness and is never good. Humility is important because the work is God's work. We are only unworthy servants doing what is given us to do. There is a Baptism of water, but also of desire as shown by the good thief. And a Baptism of blood via martyrdom. While these latter forms of Baptism hasn't been explained properly, we can see it's type when the Angels sung on Christmas Morn, "Glory to God in the Highest and on Earth, peace to people of Goodwill." Goodwill is an overlooked virtue. There were those, not a part of Christ's disciples who were casting out Demons in Jesus' Name, yet the Lord didn't stop them. Are they going to hell? Only if they lack Goodwill fulfilled by faith in Christ. Nevertheles I agree, with those Popes that the command of Jesus Christ to His Apostolic Church, to"Go out to the ends of the earth, make Disciples of all nations; Baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," must be carried out by His Church without deviation, or with exceptions.

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.”

Baptism confers sanctifying grace. Even if done by a protestant in a protestant setting, a validly administered baptism is always effective (at the very least in the case of infants), in conferring sanctifying grace.

If any person dies with this baptismal sanctifying grace preserved from loss due to mortal sin, he will eventually enter heaven.

Catholics set up a situation of absolute control of your salvation. Only priests can bless the host the create the true presence. You must partake in the Eucharist to be saved. Therefore, you must be Catholic to be saved. Perfect control and that is the way Catholics want it.

[@geoffjs]

No, that is the way that Jesus wanted it by est His One True Church Mt 16:18-19 which is the pillar & foundation of Truth 1 Tim 3:15. Jesus instituted His seven sacraments by which we receive His grace, esp Baptism Jn 3:5 & His Real True Presence, both of which He says are necessary for salvation!

[@Malachor8091]

@geoffjs Except the true presence concept is also something the Catholics created and also the priest being necessary to perform the necessary ritual to make it happen. It's really quite clever of Catholics, and I wish us Protestants had thought of it first. Perfect control and perfect guilt for a captive audience. And don't get me started on original sin, papal succession, confession, and Mary being an intercessor. Other creations of Catholics are meant to trap you forever into staying loyal. Loyalty not to Christ, but to the Church foremost.

Fact check if you don’t believe me. As a life long Catholic, I’ve never been more convicted & convinced of His Real True Presence in the Eucharist, largely through my lived experience. Even Luther believed this! You’re effectively rejecting His teaching Jn 6:51-58 1 Cor 10:13-17 Jesus commanded an unbloody REPRESENTATION of Calvary Jn 6 51-58 with the priest in persona Christi acting as Jesus the high priest offering Him as victim to His Father. When the priest says, MY body MY blood, it is not that of the priest but that of Jesus. Yes, Christ died once for all our sins, but He commanded perpetual propitiatory sacrifice for our sins which the early church commenced doing. Jesus has forgiven our sins, however, reparation still needs to be made via the Holy Mass The Holy Mass has been offered daily since the time of the early church, read the early fathers. The words daily bread, in their original language, refer to supernatural bread or Eucharist! If you don’t believe in His Real Presence, investigate Eucharistic miracles, msgs from God which science can’t explain with the same AB blood type & living heart tissue.

[@granmabern5283]

Yes, kind of. “ God wants the entire island to make it to heaven”.... God creates people for Heaven. He “ wants” all of us to go to Heaven. He doesn’t force anyone. He is Infinitely Just and Merciful. He actually said that “ many are called, but few are chosen.”. He gave us free will, and most of us misuse it. When missionaries came to North America there was at least one tribe that had been Previously catechized by “ a lady in blue”. Several tribes had received prophecies about the missionaries coming. Generations before the missionaries came. When these tribes heard about missionaries in North America They sent emissaries to beg the missionaries to come to their area. Several emissaries died on those treks. It took years before the missionaries could go. Several groups of emissaries travelled for weeks to find missionaries. Some of the tribes became so Holy after Baptism they were like the first Christians. UNTIL they were corrupted by bootleggers, protestants, and despair over thieving, lying politicians. It’s one thing to receive the Grace. It’s a whole ‘nother endeavour to preserve It in our souls from local influences and pressures, temptations and our own fallen nature. That is why so many missionaries gave their lives to save souls, and why contemplative nuns like the Carmelites do the same.

Did Jesus actually say ... after my church is established anyone who is not in it is condemened, period. Or was this teaching from men drawing conclusions of what they think he meant ?

[@davegaetano7118]

Of course there's no salvation outside the Church. One can quote Christ when He says, "No one comes to the Father except through Me." And that should be sufficient. But there is an inherent reason why there can be no salvation outside the Church. Salvation must be initiated by God. And there would be no point whatsoever in God initiating salvation many different times. Moreover there cannot be multiple forms of salvation. Salvation consists of a specific relationship with God, namely obedience to His commands. And His commands can never be contradictory or adapted so as to change with various circumstances. That said, none of us can know what happens immediately before the moment of death. Perhaps Christ gives a final choice to be united with Him. We just can't know. But we do know that the Bible says, "For He is indeed the savior of all men, but especially of those who believe." While this was not said to give us grounds to hope that all men may be saved, it can give us hope that some may be saved in ways that are not temporally visible.
