You send me to 'catholic answers! So you as an individual Catholic cannot answer and you trust the very ORG which has programmed you to have scripture straight? Sorry, that is lacking.

Matthew 15:17
Perceive ye not yet, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

JESUS said that what a man eats does not defile him because it goes out through the draught. Far more powerful, because it is spiritual activation, is submitting self for baptism. But it is THE REDEEMED who do this, not to obtain salvation but to be OBEDIENT.

It's a logical fallacy in arguments and debates to attack the source without responding to what they say. That is a polemical tactic that only works on those that allowed themselves to be bullied.

I provided an answer to your question, and you answer with belligerence. If you are trying to win someone to Christ that way, good luck.

I'm open to charitable and reasonable discussion, but I don't have time for hostile people. Good night and God bless you.
