Catholic Salvation: Repent, Believe, Receive and Remain

4:34 PM Sunday. I am not sure that it is correct for me to look upon the Holy Spirit as my divine mentor until after my baptism, if and when I take this step. I talked about it with Frank Hoffman from All-Creatures last week and came to the conclusion that I don't have a primary Christian mentor at this point in my life, but I do have a number of supporting Christian advisors, active and passive.

What must I do to be saved, according to the Catholic Church? Here is Google Gemini's answer: 

According to the Catholic Church, salvation comes through God's grace and is accessed by faith in Jesus Christ, repentance of sin, and baptism. This grace, offered through Christ's sacrifice, must not be refused but must be cooperated with through continued adherence to God's will, which includes participation in the sacraments, good works, and remaining in communion with the Church until death.

And here is a definition of salvation from Got Questions Ministries (Protestant) that I am chewing over:

For additional insight, I am also taking into consideration a longer teaching on salvation by Trent Horn titled The "Not-so-Simple" Protestant Plan of Salvation | Catholic Answers Podcasts. Trent's four-point summary of the Catholic view of salvation is very helpful:

Under the Catholic view of salvation, you just have to repent, believe, receive, and remain. Repent of sin, believe in Christ in His church, receive Christ in baptism, and remain in communion with Christ and His church until death.

It's tremendously cogent, but I am not sure that I fully and correctly understand it, and to the extent that I do, I am not yet sure that I agree.

End 5:23 PM.
