Before proceeding, did you read and comprehend the previous answer in the scriptures I posted ?

Yes, I'm very familiar with the material. Do you see to whom the passage is directed and the context in which it is framed? ... I just did a drag and paste and the font is readable as black not light blue. But you're the only catholic for whom I would do that. ;o)

13 You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross; having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Let no one therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day, which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's. Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God's growth.

If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but aren't of any value against the indulgence of the flesh. Col 2:13- WEB

Maybe you missed the second part of the question, so I'll repost it so you don't have to go looking for it: When did the believers at Pentecost and in the house of Cornelius receive eternal life?

The answer to that question will answer the first part of the question. If it's too hard for you to answer directly, just let it go. Most will understand.

There is no need to post an oblique non-answer to such a simple, straightforward question whose answer is illustrated by the Holy Spirit suddenly in those listening to Peter's sermon, even before he finished preaching in the house of Cornelius.
