Showing Original Post only (View all)Religion question - Do Catholics NOT accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior? [View all]
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the General Discussion forum).
Someone I know just got back from week in Puerto Rico as part of a volunteer effort. Church based, about 15 people, mostly out of Lynchburg.
Okay so they went and stayed in "the Mission house". Cleared down trees, cleaned and painted house interiors, etc.
Today I asked this person about their experience and was told the following:
"On Tuesday we scraped and painted the first floor rooms of this elderly woman's house. She had 8 feet of water and mud in her 10 foot rooms."
I listen on...
"On Friday before we left I had a chance to go back and visit her again. Since I grew up Catholic (converted to Baptist years ago - very conservative Baptist) and she is you know Catholic I thought we had something in common there. It was great, in the end she agreed to accept Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior"
I complimented her again and thanked her on her great work and that she really made a difference I'm sure.
Two things:
1. I thought this purely a volunteer effort not a mission - I guess I was naive or she might have just done this on her own.
2. Don't Catholics believe that Jesus is the Lord and Savior? Or is she just taking credit for an "easy win"?
