"I have an idea missy, why not start your own thread with your anti-Christianity ravings and ping us. K?"

I find your statements to be so very odd.

Bringing up history is considered "anti-Christian"?

Who gives Salvation freely by Grace, as opposed to the lds salvation “after all you can do”.

Those two concepts are not diametrically opposed. Both are supported by the New Testament, specifically by Jesus Himself.

Put them together as the Bible does and you get, grace is freely given to those that do all they can do and please God. Jesus saves all men who keep His commandments and does the will of His Father. All men are judged by their own works.

It's very simple math. 1) Have faith in Jesus Christ. 2) Keep the commandments of God. 3) You are judged by your works. 4) If your works are good, grace is freely given.

The Catholics follow this doctrine too, correct?

Biblically speaking, it's spot on right.

Grace is Grace, works is works they are not equal.

Biblical Salvation is not worked based, hence the term Grace.

There is assurance in Grace, there is no assurance in works.

No, actually Catholics don’t.

No Christian faith does.
