Re: Are all Catholics lost?
but this does not allow for a believer who attends the church that feels most comfortable to them, or maybe even the church of most convenience if they dont drive, or many other scenarios one might envision wherein one is attending a church while not necessarily agreeing with every doctrine of that church.
But to answer your question, about what to say about those who believe those statements, my answer would be to say nothing. People change their minds, and these might be just something that God is not dealing with them on yet. Or whatever. There is no scenario in which you might justifiably proclaim anyone lost or saved, as no one has held out to the end yet that is still living, and your countenance should not be varying between those you consider chosen and those you consider lost anyway--you are supposed to be reflecting love to people, and demonstrating your beliefs, but instead you make a mockery of them by denigrating other sinners, and calling them lost when you do not know, because you think you have some Scripture to point to.
hasn't the gay thing coming to your church penetrated yet? You might like to characterize that as satan running rampant, but i suspect it is God's judgement for an unsaintly attitude. I see that you are back to pointing out what i am missing up there again, so i am done here. Doctrines are mostly yack lawyers invent to talk about Christ because they have no clue how to reflect Him imo.
