Mormonism Salvation Sanctifying Grace Mortal Sin Seven Sacraments Heaven and Hell Life After Death Catholic Advantage

QUESTION?

A friend recently passed and he was a Mormon. What happens to Mormons upon death?

ANSWER!

If anybody dies in the state of unrepentant mortal sin they go to hell (Mormon or otherwise). To get to heaven you need sanctifying grace (be a friend of God and not die in mortal sin). Catholics have an advantage because the sacraments give us sanctifying grace, no other religion has the 7 sacraments.
