It is the Roman Catholic Church that has complicated the gospel. Anyone who truly believes the simple gospel that Paul declared (\u201cthat Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures\u2026\u201d \u2013 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) is saved. But to the simple gospel, Rome has added baptism, good works, penance, the sacrifice of the Mass, prayers to Mary and the saints, suffering in purgatory, Mass for the dead to get them out of purgatory, extreme unction (last rites), holy water, candles, rituals, etc. These are all means to salvation according to Rome. It would be very unlikely that a Roman Catholic would not believe in at least some of these heresies. Anyone who believes to any extent in anyone or anything whatsoever for salvation in addition to Christ\u2019s finished work on the cross has rejected the gospel, which \u201cis the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth\u201d (Romans 1:16) and is not saved.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
