“Are you saved?”— The question that leaves many Catholics speechless
Can you confidently defend the Catholic biblical view of salvation?
Many Catholics freeze or say “I hope so” when confronted by Bible-quoting critics. Protestants will confidently quote Romans 10:9 or Ephesians 2:8-9, claiming that unless you had a one-time “acceptance event,” you are bound for hell.
But the Bible presents a far richer, deeper reality. Salvation is not a past event; it is a past, present, and future process of transformation. Understanding the scriptural proofs and the teachings of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Council of Trent is the key to defending your faith.
This book is the definitive apologetics manual to help you answer with absolute confidence.
What You Will Explore Inside:
- ✦The Protestant vs. Catholic Conflict: How Martin Luther's personal struggle with guilt led to a new doctrine that split Christendom.
- ✦The Biblical Meaning of “Saved”: Why the Bible presents salvation as a lifelong journey of grace (past, present, and future), not a single past event.
- ✦Sola Fide on Trial: A rigorous scriptural review of Romans 3:28, James 2:24 (the only place where “faith alone” appears in the Bible), and Luther's unauthorized additions.
- ✦Justification and Transformation: Why forensic imputation (the snow-covered dunghill theory) falls short of the biblical call to actual holiness.
- ✦The Sacramental Interstate: How God uses physical sacraments (Baptism, Confession, and the Holy Eucharist) to infuse grace and preserve salvation.
- ✦Purgatory and Final Purging: Scriptural proofs (1 Corinthians 3:15, Matthew 5:26) for the purifying fire that prepares souls for Heaven.
- ✦The Catholic Answer: A confident, scripture-backed guide on how to answer the question, “Are you saved?”
Stop being intimidated by Bible-quoting critics. Learn the true biblical theology of salvation and stand firm in the Catholic Church.
