Have You Quit Relying on Everything That You Think You Can Do to Merit Eternal Life?

At the end of any gospel conversation with a roman catholic, ask this question: Have you ceased relying on everything that you think you can do to merit eternal life? If their answer is yes, then we need to go k with the gospel. So before leading someone to repentance and faith, i want toclare that they’ve ceased relying on anything else. Because faith plus anything cancels faith, right? You are talking about asking encouraging people to ask good questions. Is there one that you found particularly good at revealing convictions, important convictions?
