This is another reason why I am Catholic...
Sola Fide - By Faith Alone - a teaching the Protestant Churches adhere to, meaning that they receive guaranteed salvation by faith alone, not through good works as well, such as the Catholic Church teach. I believe that you must do good works as well as have a good spiritual life in order to get salvation.
Think of it this way... you may have strong faith in Christ, yet a strong animalistic instinct to murder or torture or rape - anything that is morally wrong - yet because of "Sola Fide" and your strong faith, you still have salvation, even though you do nasty things, and don't do anything such as Confession and Penance!
That's my two-cents worth!!!
