I think part of the problem we have understanding some doctrines is our concept of time. We can only understand what we see, feel, touch. When, in fact, many doctrines have their activation in eternity. This is why we can say, we have been saved, we are being saved and ultimately will be saved.....and yet, when we receive Christ as Saviour we are saved.
It would be interesting to sit down with a Roman Catholic, Anglican and have each doctrine explained.
For example, ask some Anglicans what they understand about infant baptism. Instead we argue on what we think they teach!

That's the right approach!
God bless you Jim!
