I’m sure the Vatican will be out with an explanation of what Francis “really meant” any day now.

I just don’t see the great benefit to the Kingdom of Catholics seeking to convery Presybterians, trying to convert Methodists, trying to convert Baptists. It too quickly breaks down into nitpicking on which translation you use to justify what traditional practice, among people with no knowledge of Old Testament Greek.

Convert pagans, atheists, and muslims all you want, and even Mormons.

The Catholic Church teaches, “Outside the Church, there is no salvation”. There is no nitpicking about it.

But Jesus was not baptized by a Catholic.

So there is salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church.

Only "sprinkled" as a baby.

Sprinkle it to be so now, for thus for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered "sprinkled" him. (?)

What the little baby Jesus was doing talking so clearly as a babe I don't know. Perhaps he was a bit precocious.

The Blessed Mother was born without original sin. Strike two for you.

Here’s a question for you, “Was Moses baptized?

So, Mary didn’t need the Catholic Church....

Jesus and Mary both had some form of salvation outside the Catholic Church.

Gosh, we are well on the way to Pelagius.

My understanding is that water flowed across his forhead as he was drawn from the Nile at the command of the daughter of Pharoh.

"Gosh, we are well on the way to Pelagius."

"We"? Speak for yourself.

Guess you are not into proseletizing.

Have a wonderful evening!

Elijah spent quite some time in Purgatory. Adam and Eve spent even more time there.

As far as proselytizing: Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus.

Think long and hard about that. I’ll be praying for you.
