what is the doctrine of salvation for catholics? what act get them purfied,?

Answer 1

The easy answer:
+ Be baptized and spiritually born again
+ Follow the teachings of Jesus Christ
+ Do not commit mortal sin

The complicated answer:

We are already saved:
+ “For in hope we were saved.” (Romans 8:24)
+ “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:5-8)

We are being saved:
+ “He will keep you firm to the end, irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus.” (1 Corinthians 1:8)
+ “For we are the aroma of Christ for God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.” (2 Corinthians 2:15)
+ “So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” (Philippians 2:12)

We have the hope that we will be saved:
+ “How much more then, since we are now justified by his lood, will we be saved through him from the wrath. Indeed, if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:9-10)
+ “If anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, the work of each will come to light, for the Day will disclose it. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire (itself) will test the quality of each one's work. If the work stands that someone built upon the foundation, that person will receive a wage. But if someone's work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person will be saved, but only as through fire.” (1 Corinthians 3:12-15)

Like the Apostle Paul, we are working out our salvation in “fear and trembling,” (Philippians 2:12) and with hopeful confidence in the promises of Christ:
+ “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access (by faith) to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:2)
+ “This saying is trustworthy: If we have died with him we shall also live with him; if we persevere we shall also reign with him. But if we deny him he will deny us. If we are unfaithful he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself. (2 Timothy 2:11–13)

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

I am a devout Catholic and I believe all of these things listed below from Sacred Scripture are part of receiving the salvation made available to me by Jesus Christ. Those who claim that faith alone is what saves you must ignore the rest of what is recorded in Sacred Scripture.

By Believing in Christ (Jn 3:16; Acts 16:31)

By Repentance (Acts 2:38; 2 Pet 3:9)

By Baptism (John 3:5; Acts 2:38; 22:16; 1 Pet 3:21; Titus 3:5; Mark 16:16)

By the work of the Spirit (John 3:5; 2 Cor 3:6)?

By declaring with our mouths (Luke 12:8; Rom 10:9)?

By coming to a knowledge of the Truth (1 Tim 2:4; Heb 10:26)?

By Works (Rom 2:6, 7; James 2:21, 24-25)?

By Grace (Acts 15:11; Eph 2:8)?

By His blood (Rom 5:9; Heb 9:22)?

By His righteousness (Rom 5:17; 2 Pet 1:1)?

By His cross (Eph 2:16; Col 2:14)

There is only one place in Sacred Scripture where the term "Faith alone" occurs and that is in James 2:24 "See how a person is justified by works and NOT faith alone."

Answer 3

Let me clear a few misconceptions up. First of all the Catholic Church and the Orthodox are the only churches that are not man made but built by the apostles and Jesus Himself. There is absolutely no idolatry in the Catholic Church at all, the Church does not teach idolatry nor tolerate such practices. The Catholic Churches including the Orthodox are the only Churches who allow the corporeal Christ in their worship and it is He who is the focus of that worship. All man made churches forbid the corporeal Christ from their worship. The Catholic Church does follow Sacred Tradition just as St. Paul commanded when speaking to the Corinthian Church saying “hold fast to the traditions given to you by word (oral)and letter (written)”. The Sacred Traditions contain the truth of the Christian faith preserved through the two millennia and the Church that Christ founded remains “the bulwark and ground of the truth”.

Answer 4

The official position of the Roman Catholic Church is that a person must believe in Jesus Christ AND be baptized AND receive the Eucharist along with the other sacraments AND obey the decrees of the Roman Catholic Church AND perform meritorious works AND not die with any mortal sins AND etc., etc.,

Answer 5

Baptism, of course! See Acts 2:38 and 1 Peter 3:21; so does the Eucharist and the sacrament of confession/reconciliation

Answer 6

The doctrine of salvation for Catholics is the same as that for Protestants. From the time of Adam, man is dead in his sins and needs a savior. In the fullness of time, Jesus Christ comes as our savior, redeemer, and Lord. Salvation comes from the grace of God. We cannot earn this, it is a gift.

The difference between the Catholic viewpoint and the Protestant is in the work of grace. For the Protestant grace is imputed to us - - the Protestant doesn't really change, but the righteousness of Jesus Christ is imputed to them. For the Catholic, grace is not only imputed to us, but it also transforms us. Grace is not only God's favor, but it empowers us to draw near to God.

For the Protestant conversion occurs in a moment, and he speaks of being saved on a particular date. The "act" that gets him saved is reciting the "sinners prayer". For the Catholic conversion never stops. We have been saved, we are being saved, and we will be saved. This is because grace continues its work, changing us, making us new creatures. It begins with our baptism and ends at the moment of our death. For the Catholic, every prayer counts, every thought counts, every word counts, everything has purpose and meaning in our santification.

The Protestant speaks of knowing his salvation on the basis of his faith. For the Catholic, our hearts own longing after God is its own assurance of our salvation.

Answer 7

Excerpts from the Church document Dominus Iesus:

In fact, the truth of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Lord and only Saviour, who through the event of his incarnation, death and resurrection has brought the history of salvation to fulfilment, and which has in him its fullness and centre, must be firmly believed as a constant element of the Church's faith. [para. 13]

The New Testament attests to this fact with clarity: “The Father has sent his Son as the Saviour of the world” (1 Jn 4:14); “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (Jn 1:29). In his discourse before the Sanhedrin, Peter, in order to justify the healing of a man who was crippled from birth, which was done in the name of Jesus (cf. Acts 3:1-8), proclaims: “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). St. Paul adds, moreover, that Jesus Christ “is Lord of all”, “judge of the living and the dead”, and thus “whoever believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name” (Acts 10: 36,42,43). [para. 13]

It must therefore be firmly believed as a truth of Catholic faith that the universal salvific will of the One and Triune God is offered and accomplished once for all in the mystery of the incarnation, death, and resurrection of the Son of God. [para. 14]

Answer 8

Take it right from the Cathechism:

169 Salvation comes from God alone; but because we receive the life of faith through the Church, she is our mother: "We believe the Church as the mother of our new birth, and not in the Church as if she were the author of our salvation."55 Because she is our mother, she is also our teacher in the faith.

1257 The Lord himself affirms that Baptism is necessary for salvation. He also commands his disciples to proclaim the Gospel to all nations and to baptize them. Baptism is necessary for salvation for those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed and who have had the possibility of asking for this sacrament. The Church does not know of any means other than Baptism that assures entry into eternal beatitude; this is why she takes care not to neglect the mission she has received from the Lord to see that all who can be baptized are "reborn of water and the Spirit." God has bound salvation to the sacrament of Baptism, but he himself is not bound by his sacraments.

Answer 9

The 2,000 year-old Catholic position on salvation is that we are saved by Jesus Christ and Him alone .
