    Hey John, I have a question. But just tell you about myself, I have a Wesleyan view of how to handle Roman Catholicism where I don’t really agree with much of the Catholic teachings like transubstantiation or their teachings on the Saints, etc.. but I have a total love and support for the Catholic mysticism on spirituality, holiness, contemplation, etc. Plus my background is that I’m from Guatemala and my family, biological, is Roman Catholic, especially from my biological mom, but the family I was raised with for more than 27 years, they were Methodists. I find it interesting that the Lord has brought me to a place of being so soaked into Wesleyanism in theology, spiritual experiences and of Revival. And knowing that my family roots have a mixture of Catholicism and Methodism. So yeah, I just want to put it out there. But my question is, besides all of the bad mixture within Roman Catholicism, do you think that there was any chance of anybody being saved before the reformation? If not, why? Because this is something I’ve been kind of been wrestling with because I know that there are some Catholic who think that Protestants don’t believe that they were any saved people before the Reformation, as if they were no saved people or saved Roman Catholics in a sense of a word. Some of my friends who are Protestant seem to think that Roman Catholicism is of a different religion than Christianity.

    • I would just tell them to read the lives of the Desert Fathers, Saint Patrick, Saint Benedict, and Saint Francis. After they have done that, then watch and see if they still hold that no Catholics were ever saved until Luther. I think its just a lack of knowledge about church history. Catholicism has always been very blood of Jesus focused. In fact it was Saint Anselm who first articulated the doctrine of penal substitution: Cur Deus Homo (1098), the doctrine that Baptists now preach as the Gospel.
