No, they cannot. The only reconciliation possible is that those who are separated from the Catholic Church, reject the non-Catholic sect that they are a part of and enter into this Mystical Body of Christ, which is the Catholic Church.
But you believe that non-Catholic sects are in "partial communion" with the Catholic Church and that they are "particular churches" and that their sects are a "means of salvation", all under the big tent "Church of Christ." This "Church of Christ" includes the Catholic Church and also a vast collection of schismatic and non-Catholic sects with contradicting doctrines, worship, disciplines, morality and government.
Because SALVATION IS BY FAITH (Eph 2:8,9), and NOT as the result of "Works" regardless of the nature of the works. If you mess with THAT TRUTH, then you've GOT NOTHING.
The RC has a list of must dos to be saved, so it is a work based salvation. It does not matter what some RCs say. They must be baptised into their insitution, they must go to church though the number of times one has to attend is remarkably reduced. On top of that one has to hope they get last rites before dying and then they really want others to pray them out of purgatory. The Best thing for them is if Mary deems to come and pull them out of purgatory. I know they claim it is not a place these days but still it used to be described that way it is was like hell, the only difference is that one day they will get out.
Just IMAGINE the reaction of the Catholic victim who dies and goes to "Purgatory", when they realize it's HELL, and they're NEVER getting out!!!!!
Not quite.
The Church of Christ subsists in but is larger than the visible boundaries of the RCC.
No.
I have never asserted that Protestant ecclesial sects are just as good as being Catholic. I have never asserted that the Church of Christ subsists in Protestant ecclesial communities. I have never asserted that Protestant ecclesial sects are equal to Catholicism.
Satan is very happy, but the poor RC will be very sad. This is why their false teachings need to be revealed and bad fruit need to be shown for what they are. Scriptures cannot be twisted, the meaning of words cannot be changed, scripture cannot be ignored because they don't like what it says, their false claims also need to be noted and shown that they are false.
Just imagine the reaction of Protestants when they die and go to Purgatory and find out Catholicism was true the whole time.
I that will not happen because there is not purgatory in scripture and God would have told us if there was.
You can't be a little bit saved or partially saved. You either are or you aren't. And water baptism has nothing to do with being saved. It's something we do after we are saved.
Oh for Pete's sake! Why does everything have to boil down to one's crown of glory for you people?
Which race, no one should run in the RCC race it is going to take you down the wrong road.
No one mention a crown of glory except for you, why is it down to Mary and the pope for RCs. I mean really the use of you people is just so rude and bad mannered.
It shows you have no real discernment about how one is saved or what the body of Christ really means. You cannot be in the church period unless you are saved. "The" church is the ekklesia. Anyone can join your church and still be lost. You don't place yourself in the ekklesia, the Holy Spirit does. One of the major flaws of false religion is not knowing proper biblical soteriology.
Right. If that road is wide, youre running the wrong way on the wrong road. Catholics have 1.3 billion people, thats a wide road.
But at least we'd get out eventually when we get "pure enough". OF course nobody would be "buying our way out", like Catholics do.
Excellent understanding of the problems with the RCC concept of purgatory.
Yes.
