We have no problem with your presence here, nor do we mind discussing the views of the Roman Catholic Church. But Rome's gospel is false.

A point I'm sure you will demonstrate in time. So far I've seen this statement floated twice with the expectation it will be received by fiat.

The belief that Christianity is defined primarily by our virtues is part of Roman teaching. In short, Rome teaches that one's justification is partly dependent upon his virtuous deeds.

Not quite what I was saying. I was saying that doctrine takes 2nd place to the work of the Holy Spirit in one's life. Doctrinal prowess is not listed as one of the fruit of the Spirit. Having love is the greatest defining virtue of a Christian, or as Paul says:

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. (1Corin 13:1-3)

I see that this board has formed an impressive and formidable body of doctrine. I just hope the Biblical perrogative is understood as well.
