There is no reconciling value in any religion. Calvinism completely by passes the Gospel and declares that the elect have been predestinated to salvation. No Gospel or Jesus Christ needed. They have gone from sinners to saints by a declaration from God. Jesus had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with it and some how they believe that they are Christians.
Catholics think that the Gospel is. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They see Jesus as their role model and not their savior. Catholics believe that if you do good works and join the Catholic church you will be saved. This is the devils lie that will take multitudes to hell.
No one will see heaven that has not been justified and reconciled unto God by Jesus Christ. Jesus is God's great justifier and reconciler.
"To declare, I say, at this time HIS righteousness: that he might be just and the JUSTIFIER of him which believes in Jesus" Romans 3:26
Jesus justifies ungodly sinners, Romans 4:5 and reconciles them unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19. No Calvinism, Catholicism or religion needed. All that these religions do is cloud the Gospel so that people cannot see and believe in Jesus and his Gospel.
Before we are reconciled unto God we must be justified. How does Jesus justify us? Jesus justifies us by doing for us that which we cannot do for ourselves because we are sinners. Jesus, in our name and on our behalf, offers to God the Father a life of perfect obedience according to God's Holy Law. This is very important to believe because it frees you from the law. Jesus was good enough for us.
The fulfilling of the law was not enough, something had to be done about our sins and the sins of the whole world. Jesus, in our name and on our behalf takes upon himself our sins and the sins of the whole world and atones for them, 2 Corinthians 5:21, also 1 John 2:2.
Because of the doing and the dying of Jesus we have been justified. God now sees us as perfect and complete "In Christ" and reconciles us to himself.
"And you that were sometimes alienated in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he RECONCILED in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in his sight" Colossians 1:21-22.
God sees us "In Christ" as holy and unreprovable in his sight. Totally and completely justified and reconciled unto God. No religion needed.
