**Catholics embrace faith, not Mass**

They need to be converted don’t they?

The Mass is the greatest prayer for ANYONE to pray!

Actually no, Sal, it is not. Anything that is a continual repeating sacrifice that does not perfect for all time is just the continuation of the sacrifices that the Jews did. What did they do that the Mass does differently? Perhaps instead of the removal of sin once per year, it happens more often?

From the Protestant perspective it is saying that Jesus must be slaughtered again and again, and to have Him made a liar. It is not finished. It is only the start. Removal of guilt? No, actually you must still feel the guilt until the next confession, the next mass, the next shot of grace.

The greatest prayer anyone can say is “Lord, thank You for Your sacrifice, once and for all, and thank You for the assurance that that sacrifice has given me. I am Justified, I am being sanctified and I will be glorified. That was finished two thousand years ago, and I can trust Your holy promise! Amen!”
