If I read your above posts correctly, then I too, as a Pagan, am saved by your christ. I use different names, and word the commandments in my own way....but the "main ideas" are exactly the same.
I would even venture to say that as far as ritual and adherence to love and compassion, my faith is closer to catholisism than most christian sects can claim. Yet many christians would consider me doomed(yes they have used that word) and holding a ticket to some flaming pit.
Guess I see the catholic faith as more accepting and open minded when it comes to the individual, regardless of the dogma.
Whereas many christain faiths follow blindly one version or another of somebodys translation of a conglomeration of somebody elses translation of a group of books that were consolidated by yet another group into the guidelines for salvation.
