Are Roman Catholics saved?

No one can judge a Roman Catholic's heart, but God. However, if the Roman Catholic follows the official position of the Roman Catholic Church which teaches that justification is by works, then such a person is lost. The Bible teaches that justification is by faith alone (Rom. 4:5; Eph. 2:8-9).

I think that Roman Catholics, just like Yeshua, save green stamps.

@bulletstobroadway @bulletstobroadway O yes and thank you for giving me a lesson from the bible when I myself am not Catholic. Studying scripture systematically is something I love doing. God has taught me a lot through reading his truth. This guy as well as yourself have their own definition on what the catholic church has to be. Have mercy and love when talking with catholics as well as others. God bless

@bulletstobroadway I do not wish to start an argument. People get pleasure from proving others wrong. Although it is official Roman Catholic doctrine that grace is transmitted through the sacraments, it is important to not speak of the Roman Catholic audience as a whole when it comes to discussing this issue. There is a lot of diversity even within the RC church that evangelical christians are too ignorant to observe. I think he should just do more teaching and less condemning

This guy is impressively stupid.

@marytate12 (cont'd) He's educating people because he's discussing things they do not know and that at the same time is making them aware. He's informing people about verses in the Bible they may or may not have known as well as basically everything else he said. So then, by what logic is this spreading hate or ignorance?

[bulletstobroadway]

@marytate12 How is he spreading HATE of all things? :S I'm confused because I didn't hear him use the word "hate" or "dislike" or "disgust" or any other word with that type of negative connotation.. As far as ignorance goes, I can't see how teaching the Bible and quoting Catholic catechisms is spreading ignorance.. The dictionary defines "ignorance" as this: "The condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed." He's spreading the opposite of that... (cont'd in next comment)

@mrlivingstons1 Cont'd (Part 3): Romans 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" (KJV). And again here in Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." That's how God views HUMAN righteousness.. Case in point: Salvation cannot be earned, because that would negate Christ's blood which was shed for our forgiveness.

@mrlivingstons1 Cont'd: Romans 4:3 "For the Scriptures tell us, "Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith." (NLT). Even there, Paul was pulling from the Old Testament.. Many people believe that salvation by grace is only pertinent after Jesus died. But even before Christ, the Jews were still only deemed righteous (or had salvation) by their faith. What can a Christian do to please God? Nothing!

[bulletstobroadway]

@mrlivingstons1 He admitted that no one can know a person's HEART. He already said that only God knows. But Catholics are susceptible to being lead down the wrong path IF (and only IF) they buy into the OFFICIAL Catholic doctrine which is that salvation is earned by faith and works. If you read the Bible then you will soon realize that this doctrine is contrary to what the Bible teaches. Now, this doesn't mean that all Catholics are not saved.. They must have faith alone.

What is the point of this video? Christian on Christian hate. What purpose does this have? Why are you so mad at Catholics? I don't think that this is what Jesus had in mind by "Spread the Good news." You spread hate and ignorance. I challenge you to take some RCIA classes at your local Catholic church before you create another video.
