You said the only way to heaven is to “accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.” And Rome teaches there is no salvation apart from participation in the sacraments mediated through its priesthood.

The Bible says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

So Rome says you have to participate in her ceremonies while Scripture says salvation is by grace, a gift of God.

“So Rome says you have to participate in her ceremonies while Scripture says salvation is by grace, a gift of God.”

If you’re talking about the sacraments, they are gifts from God and all about grace.
