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.
