I would also like to add that one of the biggest problems with Protestantism is that their faith teaches the whole "once saved always saved" hoax. That is a very dangerous belief to hold. If you think you're already gauranteed to go to Heaven, then why do penance? Why repent for your sins? Why be nice to people? Why not be greedy? Hey, you're going to Heaven anyway, right? That is what runs through the Protestants' minds, and it is extremely dangerous and heretical.
They think that Christ did all the penance and suffering for them when He died on the cross, so they feel no need to do any penance. Instead, they think they can just "accept Jesus into their heart" and then say "Ok, that's it. I'm done". That is not at all how it works.
Their understanding of Scripture is very shallow, for Jesus said many times in the Bible that few are saved. |
Actually, only some Protestants hold that. Calvinist Baptists, mostly. |
Regardless, its still much easier for a Protestant to get to heaven (in reality, hell) than for a Catholic to. They're saved by Faith. I don't know many of them to actually act otherwise, Calvinist, or not. They're saved by 'grace'.

to Jesus as The Lord, while Catholics usually say Our Lord. Not always but most of the time.
I wonder why that is? |
"Our Lord" has always been used by Catholics of past ages, because it was a spontaneous and natural expression of the indissoluble union of: 1) the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity with our human nature from His Incarnation as our Redeemer in the most chaste womb of His glorious Virgin Mother; 2) Our Lord with His Church, being His Mystical Body; 3) and Our Lord and each of us individually through Holy Communion.
The Protestant sects mostly misunderstand or deny the first union, they themselves cannot claim the second union, and they certainly have rejected the third union when they denied the dogmas of the Holy Eucharist as defined by the Sacred Council of Trent.
