Moi?

Nope. I'm a lowlife sinner, bought with the blood, and undeserving of heaven. If I get there, it is ONLY on His merits, certainly not my life, which is a roadmap of what NOT to do, for the most part.

What is "you'ze" a contraction of?

That's how they say "you guys" or "y'all" in the Midwest.

Eutychus is an Evangelical of the Kirk Cameron type, if memory serves. I do not think he is OSAS. Besides, the pentecostal churches are not always unified in what they believe anyway.

Sweet, now you are starting to talk like a Catholic again. I only wish you understood the word 'merit' a little more fully. We tend to understand the word 'merit' in three ways. The way you used it in your context means that everyone will go to heaven, whether or not they are Christians.
P.S. Statements like the one you made above convince people like me that you never truly understood the Catholic faith.

Despite 12 years of Catholic School, with ONLY Nuns and Priests as teachers { there were NO lay teachers in the day and age I went through the system } I hear that silly phrase over and over.

A nun or a priest teaching Catechism is in no way a guarantee that you will actually learn the faith. At times, they can be the worst instructors.

As for your poor RE, I do believe a catholic will have to answer before God for your misguiding.
