In most of these Saintly BOD/BOB anecdotal stories, it seems some critical details are left out ?  

The stories are presented to make the BOD/BOB points but, there always seems to be unanswered questions surrounding the events.

Rosalie Cohen received the miraculous grace of the Faith.
She acknowledges Our Lord, then kneels down at His feet and dies.

But if she did receive the grace of the Faith, it would seem her first emotions should be sorrow for her sins and an immєdιαte desire for Baptism?

Not just, “Oh, I get it now!”

In fact, if we are to believe this story, Rosalie needed to make that her dying words... “Baptism Oh Lord!”
Yes, it would seem that entrance into The Church is conveniently missing from these stories. 
So according to the believers of these stories, a Jew or Muslim or other would not need to become a member of the Catholic Church upon their death, they would only need to have ‘Faith in Jesus’. This sounds distinctly Protestant, no?

Selfish interjection here:  While we're on the topic, can you all say a prayer for my mother's conversion, that she ask for baptism (probably from me) before her death?  Although she's still doing okay, she is 88 years old now.
Absolutely! :pray:

Of course.

I believe I've been disabled from making posts, so I'm gonna hijack this thread too (admittedly for a far less important purpose than 2Vermont's) to ask a question: who are some saints who can help you get out of despondency? 

St. Jean Vianney and Padre Pio both being mentioned in this thread reminded me of this, since they're both priests who were joyful and light, as well as profoundly lovable men who gave simple advice and who have helped millions. Plus, I figure it's more pleasant than another BoD thread where certain pro-BoDers passive aggressively attack everyone else. :P

God Bless you all! And 2Vermont, your mother will be in my prayers too!
