Born again, saved as a Catholic

I remember in school the Protestant Students professed born arain and saved, and I felt a little out, for I could not respond.

Welcome, StephenAndrew! I am a cradle Catholic who came to know Jesus intimately through the charismatic renewal nearly 50 years ago. I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and was overwhelmed by His love, power, peace, and joy. Once you have experienced Him personally, there’s no going back to a dull, boring life. Just ask Him, He will do the same for you. Born Again, Spirit-filled Catholic? Yessir!

Born again and saved yes. Born again from the cross when jesus told us to take home his mother. Disciple behold your mother. We were there at the cross. We take her home as John did the disciple. Whom he loved the most is us all of his disciples. The disciple he loves the most is us. And saved by the blood of god, the host The blood from heaven for it returns from where it came.

K, we are reborn by the waters of baptism, when an indelible mark of the Holy Spirit is placed upon our soul “unto the day of redemption,” as Holy Scripture says.
The common non-Catholic version is a simple mental assent to Christ being Lord, us being sinners, and Him dying for our sins, then us “accepting” His forgiveness.
These are distinctly different. One is a sacrament for starters, with no outward sign. Sola fide-saved by faith alone.

Here’s where I’ll pose a question:
When we stand before God for judgment, do you reckon we’ll be judged on what we believed and assented to, or on what we DID in this life?
I believe we’ll be judged on the latter. I also do not believe in being saved by mental assent

Peace to all,

The logical parable of Born again and Saved is in Creation as mortal and corrupt from Adam and Eve and becoming transformed sanctified as Baptized in immortality and incorruptibly through The Body of Christ and The New Eve and Confirmed re-Sanctified through Communion and Sacrifice and Penance becoming glorified through transfiguration into the image of the Creator, God, The Father by the Power of The Holy Spirit.

In logic, The First Coming of the Body is in Baptism from mortal and corrupt from the Bodies of Adam and Eve, to becoming sanctified immortality and incorruptibility in the Body of Christ as Baptized.

And in logic, The Second coming of The Christ is through Communion and Confirmation re-Sanctifying the Spirit through Penance and Sacrifice for atonement and absolution to restore the sanctification of the soul becoming united as one in being together with The Father and The Son, glorified and transfigured.

Peace always,
Stephen Andrew
