Just for Catholics is NOT a Catholic web site. It is a Protestant web site which targets Catholics for conversion/apostasy by attacking Catholic beliefs.

I apologize. Simple misunderstanding. Are you saying then, that Protestantism is apostasy? Do you really believe that Protestants are damned?

You still haven't answered any of my epistemological questions. Until you do, I shan't answer any of your objections. Can't you handle this young cockerel?

Apology accepted; I did think that you merely deceived by "Just for Catholics," and meant no deceit yourselves. My main point for including "/apostasy" is that the web site aims at promoting Protestantism not by displacing the Catholic faith with a "better" Protestant one, but by destroying the Catholic faith in a vague hope that once the person's Catholic faith is sufficiently undermined, they may happen to find a Protestant faith. That's just plain evil.

I do not believe all Protestants are bound for hell. I do believe that absent the surety of the one, true faith founded by Christ, Protestants must rely on the extra-ordinary graces of Christ. While that sounds harsh, I'm sure you'll recognize that ANY faith must believe that about itself, or be simply inter-religious mush. I may, however, put far more faith in those extra-ordinary graces than Mel Gibson and certain other traditionalists partly because I believe I have witnessed the Holy Spirit working amid Protestant faiths and partly because I find far greater conciliation between modern Catholic ecumenism and traditional triumphantalism; but I don't know whether what I have witnessed is signatory grace or prevening grace (i.e., signs that the person IS saved, or signs that the person is being called TO salvation.

I'm sorry. I haven't been dodging your questions, but trying to do the best I can with limited resources. Can you please restate which questions I have inadequately addressed?
