AUTHORITY
A Christian believes Scripture has authority over church. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16 ). By setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience (2 Cor. 4:2 ).

A Catholic believes the Church has authority over Scriptures. The manner of interpreting Scripture is ultimately subject to the judgment of the Church which exercises the divinely conferred commission and ministry of watching over and interpreting the Word of God (CCC 119).
________________________________

JUSTIFICATION

A Christian is justified once by faith because justification is a permanent declaration by God (Romans 8:30 ).

A Catholic is justified repeatedly by sacraments and works because he loses the grace of justification each time a mortal sin is committed. The sacrament of Penance offers a new possibility to convert and to recover the grace of justification (CCC 1446).
________________________________

REGENERATION

A Christian believes he is regenerated at baptism of the Spirit.
For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body (1 Cor. 12:13 )

A Catholic believes baptism of water imparts divine life, the water of Baptism truly signifies our birth into the divine life (CCC 694).
_____________________________

SALVATION

A Christian is saved by God's unmerited grace. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast ( Eph. 2:8-9 ).

A Catholic is saved by meriting the graces needed for salvation. We can merit for ourselves and for others the graces needed for the attainment of eternal life (CCC 2010).
________________________________
contd.

Gbam!

_______________________________
A Christian is saved for good works. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do (Eph. 2:10 ).

A Catholic is saved by good works. The sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation (CCC 1129).
________________________________

A Christian believes salvation is offered to those outside the church. "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors as though God were making His appeal through us" (2 Cor. 5:20 ).

A Catholic believes salvation is offered through the Church. Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation. Anyone refusing to enter it or
remain in it cannot be saved (CCC 846).
_______________________________

A Christian is purified by the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus.. purifies us from all sin ( 1 John 1:7 ).

A Catholic is purified by the fires of Purgatory. They undergo purification in Purgatory, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven (CCC 1030-31).
_________________________________

SAINTS & PRIESTS

A Christian becomes a saint when the Spirit baptizes him into the body of Christ. And He gave some...for the equipping of the saints...the body of Christ ( Eph. 4:11-12 ).

A Catholic becomes a saint only if the Pope canonizes them. This occurs when he solemnly proclaims that they practiced a heroic virtue and lived in fidelity to God's grace (CCC 828).

Ur catechism classes are not in vain
Kudos!

So, what happens to non-xtians when the so called 'xtians' don't even have a single doctrine? Thank GOD for my life!

@OP, people like you are those that deserve a special place in hell. An idiat xtian fella forming holier-than-thou. If not for the catholic church, u'd be somewr catering for dogs to be used during Ogun festival...

THE LORD'S SUPPER

A Christian believes the Lord's Supper is a memorial. "Do this in remembrance of me" ( 1 Cor. 11:24-25).

A Catholic believes the Lord's Supper is sacrifice. The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice...the same Christ who offered Himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and offered in an unbloody manner (CCC 1367).
__________________________________

A Christian receives Jesus once, spiritually, in the heart. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12 ). God... put his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee (2 Cor. 1:22 ).

A Catholic believes he receives Jesus physically, frequently, in the stomach. The body, blood...soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ...is truly, really and substantially contained inthe Eucharist (CCC 1374-78).
___________________________________

CONDEMNATION

A Christian is condemned by the Roman Catholic Church. Over 100 anathema's have been pronounced against Christians by the Roman Catholic Councils of Trent and Vatican II. These condemnations are still in effect today and can only be lifted if a Christian returns in submission to the authority of the pope.

A Catholic is condemned by the Word of God. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day ( John 12:48 ).
If we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! (Gal. 1:6-9 ).

What you guys are implying is that if I don't follow Catholic doctrine, then I am damned? Holy mackerel! Christianity is ridiculous. Is it Christ (God) or church (Pope/God/Mary)? This una religiom is very confusing to say the least. #sighs#

^^ not at all. Ur religion will not lead u to Heaven or Hell. U need to be a true christian in every sense of the word.

@tobechi: funny but sooo true.

yes the Catholic Church is the only true and apostolic church, the Catholic Church is the only non manmade Church , God/Jesus himself created that Church. The Catholic church is well organized, with a strong clergy. The Catholic Church is leading all others "religions" in charity works/donations. Yet the fidels are not impoverished , our priests are not crooks and don't flaunt their wealth like pastors. We don't worship priests like some do with their pastors and pastors' wives, our priests don't snatch our wives or break our household with their famous : your husband is a demon and the reason of your failures. Most of the heretics you see here esp the op schooled in a Catholic Church, patronize a Catholic hospital/medial center, use Catholic drugs etc .
So Again you can only obtain salvation through the Catholic Church.
May God help you

No bro, stop mentioning the name Jesus. You don't know Him

What Rome says:

"Listen, all you who desire the kingdom of God! Honor and serve the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, and you will find life and eternal salvation!" -St. Bonaventure


"All those who seek Mary's protection will be saved for all eternity." -Pope Benedict XV


"Do you want certain salvation? Then have great devotion to the Virgin Mary...She will guarantee your salvation. She infallibly saves the one who honors her." -St. Sharbel Makhlouf

What God's Word says:
"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6


"And there is salvation in no one else (Jesus), for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." -Acts 4:12

"And Mary said, 'My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior'" - Luke 1:46-47


Again Sir, you don't know Jesus, the Saviour of the whole universe..
You're only a Nigerian Catholic who inherited his father's religion, dedicated and ready to die for a religion you know nothing about..
