Quote:Your "For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God" quote is correct. You are simply describing a state. It is not just any sin that sends you to hell, it is the rejection of God that sends you to hell. The "age of accountability" goes hand in hand with the answer to the question about what if a person never hears about Jesus and his death/resurrection? God will judge him/her based on their response of what he has made know to them.The age of accountability goes hand in hand with your modern, secular laws. There is no such age of accountability for sin in scripture or any denominations official positions. These questions don;t go hand in hand, ofc, you'd be hard pressed to find an example of a kid in the us who hasn't heard of jesus...but as to the question you asked in deflecton, is it an open question? Do pagan idolaters go to heaven? Based upon what...their moral fortitude....lol?
Quote:I am not Catholic but would like to know the basis for your "child could be damned" assertion.Same place you get anything about catholicism......? Catechism.
