a question for catholics?

Question

im, catholic, so im just quizing yall, how would u answer if someone asked you if you have been saved?

Answer 1

I usually answer that with "No, and before you ask I don't have any spare change, either, and I know you don't just want a hamburger"

Answer 2

I would say "I was saved, I am being saved, and I will be saved." Then I would give them these bible verses:

Was Saved:
Rom 8:24
Eph 2:5,8
2 Tim 1:9
Tit 3:5

Being saved:
Phil 2:12
1 Pet 1:9

Will be saved:
Mt 10:22
Mt 24:13
Mk 8:3-5
Acts 15:11
Rom 5:9-10
Rom 13:11
1 Cor 3:15
1 Cor 5:5
Heb 9:28

Answer 3

"Are you saved?" asks the Fundamentalist. The Catholic should reply: "As the Bible says, I am already saved (Rom. 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8), but I’m also being saved (1 Cor. 1:8, 2 Cor. 2:15, Phil. 2:12), and I have the hope that I will be saved (Rom. 5:9–10, 1 Cor. 3:12–15). Like the apostle Paul I am working out my salvation in fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12), with hopeful confidence in the promises of Christ (Rom. 5:2, 2 Tim. 2:11–13)." We are saved at baptism, but this not the end all to salvation. "Each of us will be accountable to God" (Rom. 14:12) Wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9) "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you." (Eph 4:32) "Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise." (Eph 5:15)

Answer 4

To be saved is a term used by other religions, such as born again Christinas. As Catholics, we have our Sacraments.. ......Confirmation is the Sacrament that which the Holy Ghost is given to us and we receive the wisdom to continue our lives with our faith. We are Christians. If I were asked, I would only reply:

"I was confirmed in the Catholic Church"

Confirmation can be conferred only on those who have already been baptized and have not yet been confirmed. As St. Thomas says:

Confirmation is to baptism what growth is to generation. Now it is clear that a man cannot advance to a perfect age unless he has first been born; in like manner, unless he has first been baptized he cannot receive the Sacrament of Confirmation (ST III:72:6).

They should also be in the state of grace; for the Holy Ghost is not given for the purpose of taking away sin but of conferring additional grace. This condition, however, refers only to lawful reception; the sacrament is validly received even by those in mortal sin. In the early ages of the Church, confirmation was part of the rite of initiation, and consequently was administered immediately after baptism. When, however, baptism came to be conferred by simple priests, the two ceremonies were separated in the Western Church. Further, when infant baptism became customary, confirmation was not administered until the child had attained the use of reason. This is the present practice, though there is considerable latitude as to the precise age. The Catechism of the Council of Trent says that the sacrament can be administered to all persons after baptism, but that this is not expedient before the use of reason; and adds that it is most fitting that the sacrament be deferred until the child is seven years old, "for Confirmation has not been instituted as necessary for salvation, but that by virtue thereof we might be found well armed and prepared when called upon to fight for the faith of Christ, and for this kind of conflict no one will consider children, who are still without the use of reason, to be qualified."

Answer 5

First I would ask them what they mean by "Been Saved". This phrase is used by mostly Protestants who believe that by asking Jesus Christ into your heart then you have experienced being saved. Those who experience in being baptized in the Catholic Church (All so, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Anglicans) are Christians or saved by becoming a member of Christ's body by baptism. Catholics, ETC, all can know Jesus Christ in a relatiohship beyond Baptism.

Answer 6

The Catholic church is a non-Christian cult that distorts God's Word. They teach that Mary was sinless, but God's Word says ALL have sinned, including Mary.

Why do you belong to a church that calls God a liar?

Answer 7

That question would be coming from a born again. I would say to them I 'm catholic or i'm a good christian and I don't need saving, but thanks for the offer.

Answer 8

I would answer, "Yes, I have been saved and I am being saved".

Catholics do not see it as being "saved", but "being saved".

Answer 9

I once was lost, but now am saved. I think we have to do it every day

Answer 10

i think i would say that i am being saved, i won't consider myself "saved" until i enter heaven's gates and experience eternal life.
