Catholics believe in salvation by grace, same as you. But we also believe that works are a necessary outpouring of our faith. Because the Bible says so.
Catholics do NOT worship Mary. We worship God. Mary is important to us, but we do not consider her a goddess and we do not put her in the place of God. Come to Mass, our main worship service, just ONCE and you will see it's all about Jesus.
Our Bible has EVERYTHING that your Bible has, so it's not different. Protestants removed some of the books without any authority to do so. You wouldn't have the Bible you have at all without the Catholic Church, my friend.
Please try to learn the FACTS before you decide you hate Catholicism. The three points you cite here are completely UNTRUE, so you either need to come up with some true FACTS to support your assumption that we aren't saved or you just have to accept us as your brothers and sisters in the Lord. Which is how we accept you.

No Tyler, none of those things have to do with salvation. Not even the bible. Many have been saved that couldn't read it. They don't worship Mary , that is a hatemongers lie.
Faith without works is dead.
Get to know one and then judge, if you still feel worthy.

Catholicism is a religion.
Christianity is a relationship.
You can have both. I don't think they worship Mary but pray to her. Christians believe that works are important too but it's not works ALONE that makes you saved. There are many versions of the bible, but I know what you mean about the Catholic bible - not sure what that one is about.
Besides, no religion or faith is without it's faults. Why? BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY HUMAN.

Catholics condemn salvation by works as the Pelagian heresy, do not worship mary but view her as "favored by God" as she is called in Luke 1, and they determined the canon which you use - your Bible is about 1200 years older than the Catholic Bible.
'But I'm sure you already knew that. That's what I love about you, it's your attention to detail.'

No one needs to be "saved".
It is always wonderful for all to see the true nature of Christianity exposed.
You are confirmation to me that I am on the right path.

James 2:21
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Looks like your non works path is wrong too, ask the priest to save you a good seat up front.

I don't concern myself with other beliefs. It's counter-productive. I have a full time job keeping myself on the right road. Live and let live. What others do or don't believe has no ramifications on my life.
