Many self-professed evangelicals believe most Roman Catholics are saved and are brothers and sisters in Christ. But is that really true? The answer must be found by comparing the official Roman Catholic way of salvation to the way defined and described in the authoritative Holy Scriptures. To this day, their official viewpoint regarding the way of salvation is that stated in the Council of Trent (1545-1563), written to correct the heresies of the Protestants. Many evangelicals are surprised, even stunned, when they learn about the official Roman Catholic way of salvation. The author summarizes this official view, focusing on the issues of authority, sacramentalism, justification, grace, and faith. Based on his years of pastoral experience in a predominant Roman Catholic culture, the author is convinced that most Catholics believe in the official version of how they are to be saved. With loving sensitivity and concern, the author affirms that most of them are likely not saved. Therefore, we must move toward lovingly and effectively evangelizing them.
