Are Catholics that faithfully believe in and follow the Great Commandment saved, in your estimation?

The great commandment isnt what saves. Belief in Jesus as He is described in the bible is who saves anyone.

I thought it might help to share this with you.

My direct supervisor is an Italian Catholic and he is a very easy going fella. In fact the best supervisor I have ever had bar none. Also just a very good person with a warm heart. We have had a few discussions about our churches. He has shared some of the things he is less than enthusiastic about in his church and I gather he is tuned to what's going on also being a very intelligent person. You might think seeing me here I would be all over him like white on rice, but the Lord just hasn't led me in that direction and it has nothing to do with my job. In fact , if they let me go tomorrow I would be relieved. 

I get the feeling from this guy that maybe he is one of those very few Catholics who really get it. No need for us to bat it back and forth. He is a creature of obedience to his supervisors and a creature of habit, so from my perspective it looks like he is just entrenched and for some odd reason is sticking it out where he is.

The Lord is the only one who can open eyes. I so far have NOT been led to lay into him on any of it. My orders are to proceed cautiously and slowly. "If" the Lord opens a door for me to go through with him I will. Otherwise it's in God's hands.

Invite him to your church?

Thank you.  That is certainly my hope and my goal, along with sharing the good news with others.    

Jesus jas given us peace in this matter so we can live our lives without the fear of death. 

I will tell you something that you should know. Before Jesus took the Keys of Death and Hades from them, that included the authority to take everyone at their death and keep them

" except Abraham and his descendants from Issac and Jacob and all the household of Jacob"

Because of Adam's disobedience unto death.

Right after Jesus took the Keys of Death and Hades from them right after his death. Jesus began to be  in charge of who goes where....according to their faith in him or according to their denial in him.

Meaning who they will be found at the time of their death...

You may have a question as a result of what I wrote...please make it so we can have a conversation...

I see your point.  However, unlike other faith systems, the RCC does teach that Jesus is the path to salvation.  I disagree with most (if not all) of their peripheral teachings but their main tenets on Christ are correct, are they not?  

Let me ask you this.  Is the RCC closer to the mark (so to speak) than, let's say, the Mormon faith?  

Mormons are way off in salvational error

I simply asked if people who believe in and follow the Great Commandment are saved.  I believe they are but perhaps I am mistaken.  What else must one believe or do?   

Matthew 22:37-40

English Standard Version

37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Does anybody actually keep his commandments without fail?  I don't.  I hopoe that Jesus will nevertheless forgive me (I am contrite) and fix me.  

I wish i was not using my phone atm. I would love to post a verse for you. No one is without sin even after getting saved.

In one of the john epistles we are told not to sin but if we sin we have an advocate in Jesus who died for our sins. He covers us.

Thank you.  Believe me, please, I'm ALL FOR Jesus forgiving and saving me!

There are atheists that go out of their way to attack God and mock believers.  I'm not talking about those types of atheists.  I'm talking about atheists that simply don't believe that their creator exists.  It's not that they're against the idea, they just don't think it's true.  I think it's plausible that they will be saved, but again, I have NO IDEA and only Jesus can make that determination.  

Bible says.. Romans 1.. No one has an excuse.

Have you been in a RCC at Easter time or any other time follow the ten steps of Jesus, the story of the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross..

Or have you each any Easter enactment of the death of Jesus Christ in Golgotha?

Yea, I don't know much about their beliefs but what I have learned is certainly not found in the Bible.
