Going to church does not save a person, as for the Catholics I believe the leadership to be the ones who are lost, not all but many, ie. the priest that rape innocent boys. As far as I'm concerned these men should never ever see the outside of prison.
You are implying that YOU know what it takes to be saved, but that certain Southern Baptists do not not have this knowledge. They're obviously not true Christians, right?
As far as you're concerned, priests who rape innocent boys should never see the outside of prison, as long as they are alive. But don't you also believe that if while they are in prison, they "truly repent" of their "sins" and accept Jesus into their hearts, they will get to spend all eternity in the utopia of heaven? On the other hand, should a man who never committed a crime against his fellow men and lived a peaceful law-abiding life, but was never convinced to believe in your god, have to spend eternity in the fiery pits of hell, as far as you're concerned?
