Not sure if this is what he is referring to, but a few years ago, several of the big name evangelicals such as Kenneth Copeland made some kind of agreement with the Catholic church to "return" to the mother church. They had a big meeting in Rome and all supposedly went to confession and went through a ceremony. It was when Tony Palmer, the Anglican bishop was working to create the Christian Convergent Community. He got killed in a motorcycle accident in 2014, and I haven't heard any more about it, but I wonder if that is what Sean is referring to?
The World Church movement has been around for decades. John MacArthur was asked to sign their Charter years ago, they stated " We believe man is saved by Faith in Jesus Christ " MacArthur said he would sign if they added one word to that statement " We believe man is saved by Faith in Jesus Christ ALONE " That one word is every Works Based Religion's downfall. Jesus Christ PLUS my good works will somehow be enough to get me into Heaven someday. God will owe me a place in Heaven because I have done so many good works.
"Saved by Grace ALONE" has been the foundation of the Protestant movement since the days of Martin Luther helping put the Bible in the hands and homes of the people.
Do Protestants intentionally misunderstand the Church’s teaching? Catholics don’t believe you can earn your way into heaven. But you can certainly earn your way out of it. Faith alone is not sufficient.
No, Catholics intentionally misunderstand that you are saved by Faith and Faith alone.
