I’d say the same if I succeeded in life by my own standards, too. If I was personally responsible for mending the Great Schism, or for physically eradicating jewry from the Earth, or even just for ending dispensationalism. The fact would be that from birth until now, I will have still been a failure to Him. Cowardice in the face of truth is a sin.

That's why salvation comes from grace and not works, no?

That’s where the papacy seems to (✡purposely✡?) go wrong. “Faith without works is dead” doesn’t mean “you *can’t* get to heaven without doing works.” It means “your true salvation is a total rebirth of the self that becomes *reflected* in your behavior.” Those who aren’t really saved won’t be doing the same works the saved do, no matter if they say they are.

* Men can call themselves women, but they don’t get pregnant like them.
* People can call themselves “christian,” but they don’t live like they do.
* We can call ourselves white nationalists, but we don’t act like they would.

The mind-sin of “I’m just doing what I can right now” is enslavement to perpetual mediocrity. There are no plateaus. There is always more we can do. And we don’t do it.
