the script you use is obvious.
you say that same talking point all the time.
Let me see, who told me that? my priest, my mother, the Bible.
who else? the list is very long.

"I follow Christ and only Christ"
that's wonderful.
but you're not the one directly behind him. That would have been say, Mary, or John the Baptist, or John the Apostle, Andrew, Peter, the other Apostles (except the traitor), St. Paul, and a host of other saints too.
so if you are following along with them you're also following Jesus.
or you go with the Gno-it-alistic 'pay us and we'll tell you the secret words' gnostic mythology where infants that die in early life don't go to Heaven . . . sad but true that's what your philosophy demands. You have to 'know' in order to be saved.
yup, you can do it all on your own . . . you think. till you end up in a ditch.
and then someone comes to pull you out, give you a hand. you say 'You're not Jesus. I'm not taking your help'
it's a philosophy of self-indulgent failure.
It disrespects the holy dead who had blessings of the Holy Spirit. It ignores the angels who are our helpers.
And it pretends that we don't need to worry about the demons who want us to trip up and fail.
