That's a very fair position to take.
As a christian, i would say avoiding sin isnt a requirement to being saved, because there are many people that try to do that and are still going to hell.
Since you appear to not be catholic (based on your response to one), i hope we can both agree that although faith is the requirement, a lack of an attempt to avoid sin is evidence that there was no faith, rather than an excuse to not sin. In fact, if you're looking for excuses to sin, you dont love God.
Seems like you went on a little rant in your comment. Since you hold to such strong beliefs, host a debate and 'll gladly participate depending on the topic.
When you come to Christianity, aren't you a new creature, of a peculiar people? If you are a new creature in Christ, why should a person stick to habits of themselves before being saved? Either a person hasn't been saved by God, they contradict the bible or they are demonized.
It's too bad because as a Catholic you are a Satan worshipper with many false belief following the teachings of child traffickers who drink the blood of babies but I only want to do rated debates to get my ELO back after corrupt people made biased votes on my debates.
I'd love to accept this debate but I am unable to accept ranked debates yet. If you changed the mode from ranked to regular I'd gladly participate.
