How We Are Saved

[TODO: add descriptive alt text]

  • Aren't we saved by faith alone?
  • Doesn't the Catholic Church teach that we earn salvation by our own effort?
  • Once I'm saved, can I lose my salvation?
  • Are Catholics "born again" Christians?
  • Do Catholics know they need a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?

If you are struggling to grasp the Catholic understanding of how we are saved, we hope you will find these resources helpful.
