Two Board Solution

I’m convinced all is lost

Sacraments are the tangible signs of the invisible grace.

It saddens ME that you were taught such an errant and slothful version of the faith. Baptism, the Eucharist *Transubstantiated of course** , confirmation, etc. all have their basis in scripture.

I'm a prot, friend. It hurts me that you would say they aren't your brothers, even though we're all here striving for Christ.

If you are convinced then surely it will happen, but with faith, hope, and love even that which seems impossible is within reach.

Spoiler failure :^(

This.

John 1:12-13 KJV — But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

We have contradicting doctrine on how to be received, which is what earns you the title of child of God and by relation entry into the brotherhood.
I'm not being spiteful, I'm recognizing the facts. Any honest Catholic should say the same thing.

Even further we are not all striving for Christ. Even if Catholics did evangelism, anyone who would be saved from it would find salvation in spite of the Catholic false gospel.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 1 John 2:19

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Matthew 7:18.

Expound

About the first or the second? The first is because they themselves separate away from us and make manifest the difference due to the fact they didn't receive the word gladly, but rather they dispute and contradict against what the scripture says. If there was a unity of cause then this wouldn't have happened.

Second is the fact that only a good tree will bear good fruit and in the same passage we are told that by their fruit we shall know them. In other words, you can't have an unsaved person cause someone to be saved, it can only be one way. So while I agreed with your overall point, I stressed the fact that they really can't effect the Gospel if they themselves have a false gospel, and as Galatians 1:9 says, they should not be equivocated with saved people.

Now, maybe if you are part of an unscriptural group of people you might still disagree but if you believe the above scriptures you will act in accordance with them. You certainly won't try to contradict them. I'm just saying that as a general statement. People who toss the word of God under the bus and follow some manmade tradition, such as Catholics, are wrong. See Mark 7:7-13 for the reasoning.
