Projecting much?

I'm not bitter. Lots of churches lie to people about hos to be saved. No one is responsible for my relationship with Christ but me. I could have accepted Christ at any time during the years of being Catholic but I didn't.

And as far as being a failed Catholic, what's the big deal when Catholicism can't guarantee the salvation that they claim only comes through them if you jump through the right hoops.

I'm saved now and I know if and if that's being *a failed Catholic* so be it. I'll wear that as a badge of honor.

I may have failed as a Catholic in the opinion of any Catholic I meet but I am not failed as far as God is concerned.

Galatians 2: 20-21 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

No, not really. But thanks for asking.

So you say. You should read some of your posts about Catholicism.

For most people who claim to be Christian, God has something to do with the relationship. It would be interesting to see you explain your premise to a Calvinist.

This post is a fine exhibit of ignorance regarding what the Church actually believes and teaches.

You're still here aren't you?

but I am not failed as far as God is concerned.

I'm always concerned for people who think they speak for God.
