However, there was a bit of a problem with the Catholic translation where the route to salvation was misinterpreted as do penance instead of repent. That's more than a minor translation error. I did a word study on that and looked up the word *repent* in Greek and it means..... repent.

What I was reading was that this translation to “do penance” was where the RCC went awry into the “works based salvation” realm that is the essence of every other religion, save Christianity, on the earth.
