Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we're answering one of your questions.
And a common question we receive quite often: do Roman Catholics go to heaven?
That's a great question.
We're going to actually contrast the historic Roman Catholic perspective and what we would say the Protestant Reformation understanding of justification.
And then we're going to change the conversation a little bit to: are there evangelicals and even maybe those who are confessionally reformed going back to Rome and maybe holding to perspectives of justification that are very close to the
Roman Catholic view.
And in the members podcast, we look at this whole entire conversation from a pastoral perspective and what it is that really kind of boils Justin and I's blood when we think about this conversation.
We hope you enjoy.

Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Weary Pilgrims to Rest in Christ.
Conversations about the Christian life from a reformed perspective.
The hosts today are Justin Purdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, and I'm John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
It's good to be with you today, Justin, and
we've been having a long conversation before the podcast today.
But one of the conversations we had was a particular show we've been watching recently.
So true, bro.
Good to be behind the mic with you.
