“Is Catholicism a works-based salvation?” This question leads to a discussion on the nature of salvation in Catholicism, addressing concerns about the apostolic Church’s teachings. Other topics include the journey of someone in OCIA seeking clarity on salvation and guidance for those raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses looking to convert to Catholicism.
