A Catholic Tells His Story

Can good works and religious devotion earn a place in Heaven? What happens when a lifetime of ritual meets the plain words of Scripture?

Overview

“A Catholic Tells His Story” is the personal testimony of John Ross, raised in a devout Roman Catholic family, who came to trust Christ alone for salvation. This Gospel Tract traces his journey from religious ritual and fear of judgment to assurance found in God’s Word, and examines key Catholic doctrines against Scripture.

What You’ll Discover

• How salvation by grace differs from salvation by works and sacrament
• Scriptural answers to purgatory, confession, the mass, and praying to Mary and the saints
• Why “an unbroken line to Peter” and papal authority doesn’t fit the Bible
• What it means to have assurance of salvation, rather than ongoing uncertainty
• A clear, biblical path to trusting Christ alone (John 5:24, Eph. 2:8–9)

Ideal For

• Sharing with a Catholic friend or family member open to spiritual conversation
• Believers wanting a biblically grounded, gracious response to Catholic doctrine
• Those raised Catholic who are questioning what they were taught
• Church outreach tables, letterbox drops, or personal witnessing

Why It Matters

Many carry the weight of trying to earn God’s favour without ever knowing the peace of a finished salvation. John’s story doesn’t attack anyone personally, it simply points back to what Scripture says. It’s a gentle door-opener for a conversation you may not know how to start yourself.
