Maybe I really just don't understand what grace is, or what means of grace are -- but if it/they isn't/aren't fundamentally salvific in nature, then what is it?
Why make ourselves available to any means of grace - sacrament or not - if they're not going to work a change in our life?
If these aren't the things that do bring us into right relationship with God then why do anything at all?
Why is this salvific nature of sacrament such a problem?
Finally, it seems we have so "spiritualized" our salvation that we are no longer capable of being entirely saved. That is heart, soul, mind and strength.
What a position for us, of all people, to find ourselves in!
