My wife used to be Catholic. Her sister still goes to mass pretty much every day. Her family is amazingly devout Catholic, yet her 86 year old father is afraid he is not saved because of how he treated his parents as a teenager. My wife is trying to minister to him, but since we’re not Catholic, it’s difficult.

...but since we’re not Catholic...

I had known that but misunderstood one or more of your posts on this thread. My bad. Good for you two.

I think scrupulosity and doubt plague a lot of people across many denominational lines. There’s nothing in Catholic dogma to justify such doubt.

They never know if they are saved ...that is how Rome keeps them captive..

I will pray that he continues to ignore your "ministering" and stays true to his faith.

Just tell your father in law to sit down with a priest and girt that question answered.
