Do you use chapters and verse numbers when referring to Bible verses? Chapter numbers were added by Catholics about 1300 AD. Verses numbers were added by Catholics soon after. If you cite chapter and verse when referring to the Bible, then you are using a Catholic tradition, which by your logic is non-Christian.
So right! Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Not confessing to priests and praying to Mary. The Catholic religion has put so much stuff in between the people and Jesus. Religion always seeks to control God.
I'm always amazed at how often "confessing to priests" and "praying to Mary" are used as proofs. It's like every Protestant (root word: 'Protest') read the same pamphlet.
[21] He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you. [22] When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. [23] Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. John 20:21-23
and
[16] Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much."
The priest as confessor is doing the will of God, through the Holy Spirit.
As for Mary - we pray for her INTERCESSION. Just like we ask people here to pray for us, we ask Mary to pray FOR us.
Catholicism IS Christianity. Catholics believe in the one true God, who sent his only Son to save the world. And Jesus, who sent us the Holy Spirit, to help us in the challenges of this world. John 15:26
No it’s really not…the Pope himself that it is not possible to have a relationship with God unless it goes through the church. They don’t follow the teaching of Jesus, and all the sacraments they do are completely at odds with what Jesus said. He told the Jews to get rid of of the ritualistic prayers.
Catholicism is not Christianity

Thank you. Here you can see the biblical references for the "false" teachings, as well as other fallacies of the Protestants, such as "Sola scriptura"

The New Testament was compiled by the Church about 400 AD. If Catholicism is not Christianity, then your New Testament was compiled by non-Christians.
