After reading this article and the comments, we must stop referring to catholics who promote abortions as devout catholics. Sure, as an infant they may have been baptized into the faith but I wonder how much religious education they had. To be a DEVOUT catholic you have to follow the church laws. If you occasionally slip and sin, there is the sacrament of confession. But if you are defiant, in essence you have left the church. I would say they ABANDONED the faith. People like this should be referred to as FORMER catholics.

You may as well baptize them with Gatorade. You have to hear of and believe in Jesus Christ to be saved. Infants are not capable of this.

Now this I agree with. To be a devout Christian, all you have to do is believe on Jesus Christ. You belong to Him not a church.

If you have not confessed of your mouth of Jesus Christ and his blood atonement, you have never been "forgiven" for your sins. You individually are never forgiven, your sins are hidden within the body of Christ. You are an adopted son of God, in Jesus Christ.
Well said truth , TY and God Bless you Fren , Praise Jesus for evermore !
