Are Catholics Saved?

"Are you saved?"

This question is often asked of Catholics by fundamentalist, Evangelical Christians such as Baptists, Assemblies of God and members of  other rivivalist or bible-only churches.

Sometimes its our friends or family, colleagues at work, although their really not supposed to do that, people knocking on doors and sometimes its total strangers coming up to you off the street asking:

" Are you saved?"

The idea is that Salvation is a 1 time event in which a person makes the decision to be a christian by asking Jesus to save them. Once this is done they are 

"Saved"

********Yes, I know I spelled Altar wrong. My apologies ***********

We are saved, as long as we stay in the state of grace.

Proverbs 28:13
Those who conceal their sins do not prosper,
but those who confess and forsake them obtain mercy.

Excellent thanks for clarifying
I usually respond with as Paul says in Philippians 12:2 I’m working out my salvation through fear and trembling

Hello. I’m a fellow Catholic, and I just recently found your channel. Very fascinating. I watched 5 videos in a row the other night. Great Channel!!! While my channel isn’t specifically geared towards Catholicism, I do have a few videos from Churches, Cathedrals, and Shrines that I have visited. You can find them under the “Catholic Church and Cathedral videos”playlist. Keep up the great work!!!

This is one of the best explanations of how the "once saved always saved" mentality is unbiblical, and wrong. Thank you for enlightening us with your thorough explanation.

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.". Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Jn 20:21, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
Jn 17:18, "Even as thou hast sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world."
Jn 17:22-23, "And the glory that thou hast given Me, I have given to
Matt. 28, 18-20: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore. and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus says to the crowd, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." But in reference to the same people, Jesus immediately follows with "He who does not believe will be condemned." This demonstrates that one can be baptized and still not be a believer. This disproves the Protestant argument that one must be a believer to be baptized. There is nothing in the Bible about a "believer's baptism."


"Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, " or "Ask Jesus into your heart" isn't the biblical answer.

It’s important to be saved from hell, damnation, and the stain of original sin, but what are we saved for? We are saved for union with Christ. Our salvation began when we were born again through baptism and God’s own Divine Life was restored in our souls, making us like Adam and Eve were in the Garden before the Original (first) Sin. As we go through life, we are united with Christ through the Sacraments he left as gifts for us, especially through Penance (forgiveness of our sins committed since Baptism) and the Eucharist (partaking of God’s own Life, His own Divine Nature, 2 Peter 1:4) – until that day when we are truly united with Him in heaven.

Scripture teaches that one’s final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. As Jesus himself tells us, "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31–46). One who dies in the state of friendship with God (the state of grace) will go to heaven. The one who dies in a state of rebellion against God (the state of mortal sin) will go to hell. (For the teaching on venial (non-deadly) and mortal (deadly) sins, see 1 John 5:16-17)

What I must do to be saved:

*I must be baptized with water and the Spirit. Mark 16:16, John 3:3-5, Titus 3:5, I Peter 3:20-21. (Exceptions: [1] If I desire Baptism but die before I can be baptized with water and the Spirit, God accepts my desire to be baptized, and [2] If I am killed (martyred) because of my faith, but I have not had the opportunity to be baptized, God accepts my death as my baptism, called the Baptism of Blood).

* I must do the will of God the Father. Matthew 7:21

* I must keep the Commandments of God. Matthew 5:19-20, Matthew 7:21, Matthew 19:17, 1 Timothy 6:14, and others.

* I must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27. Phil 1:29, and others.

* I must be a member of God's true church. Acts 2:46-47.

* I must confess my sins. James 5:16, I John 1:9, John 20:19-23

* I must heed the words of St. Peter, the first Pope. Acts 11:13-14, Acts 15:7.

* I must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16-17, 11:23-30.

* I must do unto others as I would have them do unto me and love my neighbor as myself. I must feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison or give other aid to those in need. Luke 10:33 ff, Mt 25:31-46. "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to God" Hebrews 13:16. Good works don’t save us, but we will be judged by them.
*I must strive to be holy. "Strive for peace with everyone and for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14
*I must endure (persevere) to the end. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13.
And ... ? What else must I do?

Catechism
#432 The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation, so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."😘😘

Fubdamentalist protestants / evangelicals should spend more time examining their own lives and less time scrutinizing other people.

Salvation is ontological not just a moral change. We are saved when we are baptized, being saved now, and we hope to be saved in the future. God bless

Jesus I love you. All I have is yours. Yours I am yours I want to be. Do with me whatever you will.

Wow! Gods hand is in this video. I am currently taking a Bible study at my Roman Catholic Church focusing on Salvation. We need to know our salvation is an ongoing process because we are human, imperfect and fallible. We make mistakes /sins because we are not perfect, God gives us time and opportunity to become fit for heaven. I wish I could play this video at our next class because I fear there may be error in what we are being taught.

They say they don't follow "traditions of men" yet they made a ton of it.
They say they hate "rituals" but made tons of them.
They say "we only follow the bible" but then follow unbiblical doctrines.
They say "faith alone" saves but they themselves left the fullness of faith.
They say "make Jesus your personal Lord and Savior" but to a true christian, He's not just his personal Lord and Savior, He's also my family's Lord and Savior, He's also my neighbor's Lord and Savior, He's also my nation's Lord and Savior, He is everyone's Lord and Savior; He is The Lord and Savior.

I thought this was another well done video. Particularly the criticism of the Protestant view of salvation. My favorite Roman Catholic channel by far.

This is brilliant, and I will use it in the future:
*Christ gave us a Church. The Catholic Church. He didn't write the book. The Church gave us the book. And since the Church has been there from the beginning, it knows what the true meaning of scripture is.*

God alone makes the call on who is saved. The Catholic Church teaches that salvation comes through Jesus alone (Acts 4:12), since he is the “one mediator between God and man” (1 Tm 2:5-6). 🙏
