"He that endures to the End Will Be Saved" Could that be a time loophole? How about "he that endures through today (spiritually) will be saved?" So how about our discipline, where is our physical, mental, emotional fitness, and especially our devotional fitness? St. Paul references boxers and athletes as examples of pushing through difficulties… this does not mean that elite Catholic athletes necessarily have high devotional fitness… however, discipline in one or two areas can help translate to a committed spiritual life.
