:::I place my comments here because by context they belong here. You've strung together various verses; most are spoken to the people of God. Roman 2:6 is spoken to lost sinners - people apart from God. By removing my post from its proper context, you are preaching a doctrine of men, '''''rendering the word of God to no effect.''''' 07:19, 3 November 2019 (EST)

The Church absolutely condemns the idea that salvation can be earned. It can't. Works make faith complete, just as St. James teaches.<br>'''Anyone''' who says the Catholic Church teaches that salvation must be earned knows nothing, and is seriously guilty of [[Misrepresentation|misrepresenting]] Catholic doctrine with a gross [[falsehood]] against the truth. <br> '''Anyone''' who says that the Catholic Church teaches that Jesus does not save by his blood in baptism through the Catholic Church is guilty of seriously misrepresenting Catholic doctrine with a gross falsehood against the truth. <br> The Catholic Church teaches that salvation is '''''solely by the grace and justification of Jesus Christ alone by the power of the Holy Spirit'''''. <br> Proof of this is set forth clearly in the [http://scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c3a2.htm Catechism of the Catholic Church, Part Three: Life in Christ, Section One: Man's Vocation: Life in the Spirit, Chapter Three: God's Salvation: Law and Grace, Article 2: Grace and Justification, I-IV, numbers 1987-2029] - ''citing abundant Bible support'', '''Rom 3:22;''' cf.
