To believe that a piece of bread turns into the actual Body and Blood of our Lord and God Jesus Christ takes a GREAAAAT amount of faith.
To believe in this and still see the same piece of bread, with the same taste, and feeling almost-nothing when receiving and consuming it... This takes a great deal of faith!
So while Protestants claim to go by faith alone, Catholics are asked to have such a great faith as in to believe in this.
So who's the one missing out? Aren't we saved "by faith alone" and thus the Catholic, who ought to have more faith, be saveed "first"?
So not only does the Sola Fides conflict with that question, but the Protestant misses out in having a greater faith in God's power by not believing that the Eucharist is indeed the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pax Christi.

Their faith is like their Canon when Jesus said over and over and over that He "is" The Eucharist (Thanksgiving Meal)... John 6: 66 "Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him." Their faith, their Canon and their favorite person to talk about...66(6).

We are not saved by faith alone. Luther had put that in his bible. We are saved by faith plus works.
And remember: PROTESTANTS READ THE MENU (THE BIBLE), WHILE CATHOLICS ENJOY THE MEAL (THE EUCHARIST)...

I don't think that there are many non-Catholic Christians who actually believe in the Faith Alone deal anymore. Are there?
