@luce-anon we're catholic, you just gotta look at it this way *pulls out diagram*

@luce-anon i've somehow looped around from this to whatever the opposite of this is. all i understand my religion to be is faith in the gracious gospel of Jesus Christ...

but i do say the Hail Mary in Latin every day, and i like to sing the Angelus, and i will prostrate myself before the Roman Catholic Eucharist and i will pray in front of states of St. Francis or Mary or the Jesus with his Sacred Heart...

but i consider myself to do all of this in an entirely Protestant manner

@luce-anon tbh they seem less woke

@luce-anon @kon it's worth noting that ever since the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, the Catholic Church and mainstream Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists, and Reformed have all agreed on what used to be the dispute over sola fide/sola gratia/etc.

@luce-anon @kon sola fide is part of an explanation of how God effects salvation, and these Catholic and Protestant churches have agreed that we do not disagree on the essential details of this message. so what i'm saying is, Roman Catholics officially believe in sola fide as it is understood by mainstream Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists, and Reformed

@luce-anon @kon this is really really good because it means that, when we read Jesus come out of the desert and say "metanoeite kai pisteuete en tō euangeliō," we can be confident that we are mutually committed to a common metanoia inspired by the same euangelion.

@luce-anon evil lizzie be like
