When I made the decision to become a Catholic, my Protestant friends of many years told me that I was going to go to hell for becoming Catholic.

It can go both ways.

A practical demonstration of the cognitive dissonance in the once saved, always saved doctrine.

So when do catholics expect to obtain eternal life? When did the believers at Pentecost and in the house of Cornelius receive eternal life?

The parable of the soils and the wheat and tares solves much of man’s doctrinal terms.

The seed that falls on good soil produces and is not choked, or scorched nor picked up by the birds.

In the parable of the wheat and tares both grow side by side until the tares are removed for burning. The tares never become wheat, and the wheat does not become tares. Nor is there a third
crop mentioned which is “refined” to become wheat.

The wheat remains wheat and the tares remain tares.

Once wheat always wheat.
