You just ignore the Word in the Bible:

Eagleone’s comment/spin; “It is about faith in Him. Not works.”

Yes we all need to have faith in Jesus and His Church, but our actions (works) need to reflect that faith. We are to love God and our neighbor.

Hebrews 11
We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works. 25We should not stay away from our assembly,* as is the custom of some, but encourage one another, and this all the more as you see the day drawing near.r

26* s If we sin deliberately after receiving knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains sacrifice for sins 27but a fearful prospect of judgment and a flaming fire that is going to consume the adversaries.t 28Anyone who rejects the law of Moses* is put to death without pity on the testimony of two or three witnesses.u 29Do you not think that a much worse punishment is due the one who has contempt for the Son of God, considers unclean the covenant-blood by which he was consecrated, and insults the spirit of grace?v 30

Concerning Romans, there is another passage that the non productive branches of the vine will be pruned. John 15

I am going to repeat the reference to the Real Presence - HIS BODY AND HIS BLOOD: “the one who has contempt for the Son of God, considers unclean the covenant-blood by which he was consecrated, and insults the spirit of grace?”

No Christian disagrees with this. However, those works do not save you as Paul notes in Eph 2:8-10.

You cited Romans 5:2 in another post but omitted 5:1 which tells us we are justified by faith.

Yes....if you're relying upon anything other than Christ to save you, you will be cut off.

We could point to the roman catholic reliance upon "mary" at this point and the false promises of the apparitions so many catholics place so much faith in.

Does that include your non-Catholic Christian neighbor who posts on FR?

Oftentimes, on Free Republic, Catholics seem to exclude non-Catholic Christians from evidences of their neighborly love.

The Glorified body JESUS now occupies, IN HEAVEN, does not use blood to distribute The LIFE of the glorified body. So your pagan Mass is a farce, pretending to feed sincere people the ‘blood and body and soul and divinity’ of JESUS. Thyis farce is perpetrated in order to empower the org know as The Catholic Church. The claimed power of the priest to bring Jesus down from HEAVEN to continue the cross sacrifice is a farce, and blasphemous.

No. It's faith in Jesus. PERIOD.

NOT faith in Jesus and fill in the blank.

Jesus work on the cross was enough and needs to supplementing.

? There's not a single place in Scripture where faith in th4e Catholic church, or participation in the Catholic church is ever made a requirement for salvation.

Only the Catholic church claims that. Conveniently.
