What Must a Man Do to Be Saved? The Catholic Answer Explained

What does the Catholic Church actually teach about salvation—and how does it differ from Protestant theology? In this video, we explain what a man must do to be saved according to the Catholic Church, addressing common objections and misconceptions surrounding faith, works, baptism, mortal sin, and perseverance. Contrary to popular claims, Catholics do not believe they earn salvation by works. Instead, salvation is a gift of grace that requires a real human response. We’ll cover: Why repentance and faith are essential Why baptism is the ordinary means of salvation How mortal sin can destroy saving grace Why confession restores salvation after grave sin Why faith must work through love How Catholics understand salvation as past, present, and future Key differences between Catholic and Protestant views of justification Why the Catholic position best fits Scripture and early Christian teaching We’ll also walk through biblical evidence showing: Baptism actually saves (1 Peter 3:21) Faith without works is dead (James 2) Salvation can be lost (Romans 11:22; Galatians 5:4) Christ gave priests authority to forgive sins (John 20:23) This video is especially helpful for: Protestants seeking to understand Catholic teaching Catholics learning to defend their faith Anyone confused by “faith alone” vs “faith working through love” 📖 “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” — Philippians 2:12 📚 Sources & Citations Sacred Scripture Mark 1:15 Hebrews 11:6 John 3:5 Acts 2:38 Romans 2:6–7; 3:28; 11:22 1 Corinthians 9:27 Galatians 5:4–6 James 2:17, 24 Matthew 7:21; 19:17; 25:31–46 John 20:22–23 1 Peter 3:21 Philippians 2:12 Hebrews 12:10 Catechism of the Catholic Church CCC 1987–1995 (Justification by Grace) CCC 1993 (Sanctification) CCC 2008–2011 (Merit and Grace) CCC 1257 (Baptism and Salvation) CCC 1855–1861 (Mortal Sin) CCC 1446 (Confession and Restoration of Grace) Church Councils Council of Trent, Decree on Justification (Session VI) Early Church Fathers St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies St. Augustine, On Faith and Works St. Cyprian, On the Unity of the Church
