The True Gospel

Hi Catholic friends,
I heard a disturbing comment from a priest a few days ago that I can't get out of my head. ... and said he would try to comfort her by saying to her "just look at your works".... "just look at your wonderful children and grand children".
This might be the usual Catholic response... but to me... I thought it was tragic. She was crying out for the true Gospel
She got the true Gospel. Yours is the false Gospel.

and all she got was trust in your baptism...
Mark 16:16King James Version (KJV)
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

and your good works!

Revelation 22:12-15King James Version (KJV)
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Is that the real Catholic gospel?

That is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.   Read Matt 25:31-45. 

Thoughts?
My first thought is this. Why do people who purport to believe in Scripture alone, never compare to Scripture? Here is what Scripture says on that matter:
Hebrews 6:10
King James Version (KJV)
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Obviously, the Pastor knows the family and knows that the woman has raised good and faithful children which are her coin to yield a hundred fold (Matt 25:23).

And have you not also read that women are saved by childbirth?
1 Timothy 2:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Sincerely,

De Maria
