I'll ask it again. This is THE CRUX of our debate...
Quote from: Pax Vobis on Today at 10:46:34 AMThe Church doesn't have time to condemn every error in the world, thus She teaches what one MUST believe. Logically, if something doesn't fall into the parameters (or contradicts) what one MUST believe, it is error.
Baptism is required for heaven (article of faith)
Baptism = water + Holy Ghost (article of faith)
BOD = no water + Holy Ghost*
Ergo, BOD is not Baptism and cannot get one to heaven.
The only thing BOD can provide a soul is sanctifying grace (per Trent); it cannot provide heaven (logical conclusion).
*Theoretically.
LOT said:... The logical conclusion and dogmatic fact and that one in a state of sanctifying grace goes to heaven.Pax Vobis said:The Church teaches that BAPTIZED, justified catholics go to heaven.
The Church does not teach that un-baptized, justified persons go to heaven. She also does not say they go to hell. She doesn't say they go anywhere. So we don't know...
I say they go to limbo, since they are not baptized. You say they go to heaven, just because they are the state of grace, but that contradict's Christ. I really don't know, but neither of us can say with certainty. Do you agree?
