My wife received a Holy Card with a picture of Jesus crucified, but on the back of the card there was the "Sinner's Prayer." It also said in brackets "(say this prayer when you feel it completely in your hear)."
Is this considered a Catholic prayer? I was thinking some Baptist might have printed in as a way to trick someone into being saved, lol.

THAT is strange!! Oxymoronic, too.
No..."decision salvation" and the theology that goes along with it is NOT Catholic and not what any "holy card" I've ever seen would say.
Is there a publisher listed?
Is it by Chick Tracts? ;-)

That would not be considered a Catholic prayer. Formulaic salvation prayers are not a part of our religious beliefs.
And no one can be "tricked" into being saved, even if you do read a prayer on the back of a card. I can read the Koran and not be Muslim, just like someone could read that prayer and still not understand what it takes to be saved.

You cannot trick someone into being saved because no matter how often you say the prayer if it ain't from the heart it don't get to the receiver. Baptists are not the only people who say that prayer.

I am Protestant but know quite a few Catholics who are what we phrase 'born again' and prayed the sinners prayer. I love the unity.

Catholics all accept Jesus crucified as their Salvation.
The prayer is for Sinners, that's everybody, in my books.

this is an outstanding and constructive Critic, i became into your age as quickly as and particular I did criticize an analogous element, even with the incontrovertible fact that in case you refer to the Catholic Church, and specifics the Statues are in particular representations in simple terms like ornament, and definitely they help the believer to not stand on the hours of darkness to direct his/her prayers to God Jesus or St. marry. The purity of marry and his virginity is the question, sure she did have extra toddlers James the apostle became into Jesus small brother, in case you study James you're able to can discover the enlightenment you're able to develop right into a tolerant and suitable Christians your skepticism is nicely taking by using me, and that i understand nicely which you deserved the the terrific option solutions yet is in simple terms as much as you to hunt for then interior the the terrific option place, even with the incontrovertible fact that the honour to Marry, that the mum of Jesus, isn't questionable. decrease than God eyes. Marry the mum of God, sometime they call her, yet extra substantial of all the mum of Jesus will continuously be for Jesus the lovable Virgin mom she, became into, do not you think of marries trails and suffering are nicely pay off for her to develop right into a Saint? and because she is a mom for anybody, she thieve is what she became into, for Jesus then, now and continuously,<

I think some holy cards aren't that great. It depends on the company that printed them.

catholics and other christian beliefs aren't that different from each other in terms of prayer styles.
