One's own conversion and faithfulness are never "just a distraction". They are always the most important thing, in fact, they are the only thing that really matters. At your death, Christ will ask about
your sins, about
your fidelity, about
your prayer, about
your love for him.
Not anyone else's.
At your death, Christ will ask about your sins, about your fidelity, about your prayer, about your love for him. I guess for a Roman Catholic that is true.
For a saved Christian, that has been taken care of at the cross.
I am relieved to know the corrupt priesthood, bishops and cardinals that lead the Roman church won't be a problem.
Some good news there!
