"Are you saved?" If a Protestant asked you this question today, how would you answer? Many Catholics freeze, stutter, or fall back on vague answers. Some say, "I hope so." Others say, "I go to Mass." But the Protestant interlocutor will confidently quote Romans 10:9 or Ephesians 2:8-9 and claim that unless you have accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior in a one-time event, you are bound for hell. Can you defend the Catholic biblical view of salvation? Written by John Okparaeke, Are Catholics Saved?: The Scriptural Proofs, the Sacramental Reality, and the Definitive Catholic Apologetics Guide to Justification and Salvation is the ultimate resource for every Catholic who wants to understand and defend their faith. Drawing directly from the Holy Scriptures, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, the Council of Trent, and the early Church Fathers, this book dismantles common Protestant myths (such as Sola Fide / Faith Alone) and presents the glorious, life-transforming truth of Catholic doctrine. ### What You Will Explore Inside: * The Protestant vs. Catholic Conflict: How Martin Luther's struggle with guilt led to a new doctrine that split Christendom. * The Biblical Meaning of "Saved": Why the Bible presents salvation not as a past, one-time event, but as a past, present, and future reality. * Sola Fide on Trial: A rigorous scriptural review of Romans 3:28, St. James 2:24 (the only place where "faith alone" appears in Scripture), and Martin Luther's unauthorized additions to the text. * Justification and Transformation: Why forensic imputation (the "snow-covered dunghill" theory) falls short of the biblical call to actual holiness and spiritual transformation. * The Sacramental Interstate: How God uses the physical sacraments (Baptism, Confession, and the Holy Eucharist) to infuse grace and preserve us in a state of salvation. * Purgatory and the Final Purging: Scriptural proofs (1 Corinthians 3:15, Matthew 5:26) for the purifying fire that prepares souls for the absolute purity of Heaven. * The Catholic Answer: A confident, scripture-backed guide on how to answer the question, "Are you saved?"
