I don't understand how observing a group of Catholics, who you claim are also "Born again believers" (a nebulous phrase which seems presented as a distinct principle apart from Catholicism) proves anything about the source of salvation.

Jesus is the source of salvation.

John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

No denomionation listed there from what I can see. Those who I term "Born Again" recognize this fact, whether Catholic or otherwise.

John 3:5-7
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (emphasis added)

Hope this helps.
