I am a strong Catholic and I love my faith. I do not understand why Protestants believe that if you profess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, no matter what you do, you can't undo your salvation if you truly believe it. Protestants accuse Catholics of "making things up," but nowhere in the bible does it say to do the above to be saved. Jesus did say "He who endures to the end will be saved," ( Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46) which means that one's final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. I do believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, but I do not believe that is all we must do to gain eternal happiness. This is what I have heard from my non-Catholic friends. Is this what you believe?
If you answer this, please do not bash the Catholic Church, just explain what you think. I would love to hear your opinion.
