I only have a moment, but I had an interesting Gospel-oriented conversation with one of my Catholic acquaintances at brunch.

Bascially, she believes Christ died for every single man and woman who's ever lived in order that we can be saved by works (although God shows great grace.)

And when I talked about Romans 3, Romans 5, Galatians ("Saved by grace through faith...), she just said she wasn't a theologian and then told me the extrabiblical story of "Abu and Adam" (basically a heathen who did good works led God's list of people who "deserved" heaven)

Didn't get to talk about particular redempotion as much as I wanted, since by that time she was leaving.

At least she says she realizes that if Christ dies for a person, that person is going to be saved.

Although, when I asked if she trusted in Christ crucified as her only hope for salvation, she gave an adamant "no!"

Be praying for her salvation! Her name is Jean.


True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
