So please elaborate, my friend.

I reject the Roman Catholic Church, particularly its extra-biblical and anti-biblical teachings, and I reject the pope as the “head” of the church, though I do not reject my brothers and sisters in Christ who are Roman Catholic.

Do you accept me as a true believer in Jesus Christ, saved and going to heaven, through my repentance from sin, and faith in the death of Jesus in my place and His resurrection from the dead?

“I reject the Roman Catholic Church, particularly its extra-biblical and anti-biblical teachings, and I reject the pope as the “head” of the church, though I do not reject my brothers and sisters in Christ who are Roman Catholic.”

What teachings do you believer are extra-biblical?

“Do you accept me as a true believer in Jesus Christ, saved and going to heaven, through my repentance from sin, and faith in the death of Jesus in my place and His resurrection from the dead?”

That, is not my position to gage. That is Christ. You answer to him and not us.

I accept you as a brother in Christ. On whether or not you are going to heaven, nobody on this earth is qualified to tell you, if you have eternal life.

Only God knows your heart and circumstances.

For example, if in your home and community you were taught anymosity towards others instead, of love, you would be judged differently that the person who was always shown love and compassion.

God gave us two main requirements: That we love Him with ALL our hearts, and that we love each other like ourselves.

Only God can determine how much you have love Him and others.

I lived in the "Sin of Presumption" for many years, and didn't realize how far off the mark I was. My broken heart didn't know how to love like Mary, much less Jesus. Since I was more faithfull that most people around me, I thought God was satisfied I didn't hurt anyone, and was good.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, I now know how to humbly get on my knees and ASK for a heart like Jesus, and ASK for His mercy.
