It will be kind of “too late” then, don’t you think?

I seriously doubt if our understanding of submission to Christ would have a lot in common, as our understanding of what the Bible teaches and what constitutes the church are severely divergent on the issues we have discussed.

For instance, submission to Christ, from my perspective has NOTHING to do with the Catholic catechism or magisterium.

What if Jesus says “depart from me, I never knew you regarding the “magisterium?”

“The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him.” — per Wikipedia

I’ve seen both sides, and I’d argue there is no difference between them wrt to submission to Christ

You are not arguing with me, you are arguing with yourself.

“from my perspective has NOTHING to do with the Catholic catechism or magisterium.”

The key word is from your perspective. You have built up an understanding of the Church apart from the reality. Both the Catechism and the magisterium of the Catholic church teach that submission to Christ is essential for salvation.

“What if Jesus says “depart from me, I never knew you regarding the “magisterium?’ “

I don’t believe he will because he appointed the disciples and gave them the gift of the Holy Spirit, and the authority to teach and preach the Word. The Priests and bishops of the Catholic church today have been appointed in an unbroken line from the age of the Apostles.
