Examples Of Roman Catholic Christ For Salvation

How would a Roman Catholic Christian answer the question, “What must I do to be saved?” What would the answer given by a Roman Catholic to the question, “If you were to die today, would you be in heaven, hell, or are you not sure?” How would a Roman Catholic steer a prospective lost soul into the arms of Jesus Christ for Salvation?

To answer these questions we must look to the Vatican II [51] confessions of the Catholic Church, formally opened in 1962 under Pope John XXIII, and concluded in 1965 under the authority of Pope Paul VI. These documents detail and outline

(Vatican II, Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of Indulgences, Chap. 4, point 36) [54]. The Roman Catholic Church clearly teaches that Salvation is not an event in ones life, it is a process one embarks upon, that the leadership of the church oversee, and hold the power over ones soul, towards heaven, purgatory, or hell.
