No. I don't.
I don't know what catholicism has to do with what Hebrews states.
Hebrews 10:25 states that we are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves...for many reasons.
Another member here just said that this is not important.
Seems to me much of what the bible has to say is not important to some folk.

Here's an example. So if a Catholic person goes to church every week and does good by people does that mean they are saved?
Dcon said:
NOPE........our righteousnesses are as filthy rags before God and there is none good, no not one.........only faith saves a man before GOD.....and Paul concluded it was faith alone that justifies before GOD without the deeds/works of the law
1. How do YOU know who is saved and who is not?
2. God REQUIRES us to be righteous. How is our righteousness filthy rags?
3. Please post some SCRIPTURE that proves that Paul says we are saved and sanctified by faith alone.

The Catholic Church teaches that the keeping of the sacraments are necessary for salvation. In their catechism, page 292, #1129 states:
The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation.”
What does the Catholic Church consider a sacrament? In their catechism, page 289 #1113 states:
“There are seven sacraments in the Church: Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony.”
"The sharing in the divine nature given to men through the grace of Christ bears a certain likeness to the origin, development, and nourishing of natural life. the faithful are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation, and receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life. By means of these sacraments of Christian initiation, they thus receive in increasing measure the treasures of the divine life and advance toward the perfection of charity."3
