“Are you saved?” If you have not yet been asked this question by a Protestant friend, you will be in the future. How should Catholics respond? What exactly is the difference between what Catholics and Protestants believe about salvation? Do works matter? What does it mean to be justified? How am I supposed to understand all the technical details of salvation and why do I need to anyway?! If any of these questions have ever crossed your mind, if you have ever struggled to explain what you believe about salvation, or if you have no idea why all of this matters, this is the course for you! Our eternal life is staked on the Catholic view of salvation, so we will dive in and make it accessible to learn, and to teach others.
This course aims to make the Catholic view of salvation accessible to students so that they can not only understand it well, but also be able to use their knowledge to defend their faith as well as evangelize. We will begin by looking at the circumstances surrounding Martin Luther’s break with the Catholic Church, and the Church’s response. From there we will break down the Catholic view of what it means to be saved, using Saint Paul as one of our main sources. We will look especially at terms that many of us use, but maybe cannot explain well, such as: justification, righteousness, and sin. We will then look at how God views sin, what Baptism actually does, and what it means to “participate in Christ.” The goal of this class is to remove our blinders, and fully understand the how and why of eternal life.

About Holly Vaughan
Holly Vaughan comes to Homeschool Connections with an extensive background in parish catechetical work. She has experience in catechesis with all ages, particularly with middle school, high school, and adult faith formation.
She has not only taught, but been involved in curriculum creation for all of these ages, and is especially interested in creating classes that teach in the format developed by the Early Church Fathers, which roots everything we learn in Scripture.
While studying theology at the University of Dayton, she was accepted to the Master’s Program at Augustine Institute to study for her MA in Theology with a concentration in Sacred Scripture. She has a special love for helping high school and young adult students grow in their faith, and for the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults, both of which provide many opportunities to see people come alive as the teaching of our Catholic faith resonates with them in a new way.
Holly lives in rural Southern Illinois with her wonderful husband, who is a farmer, and their three sons, one who graduated from Homeschool Connections and one who is a current Homeschool Connections student.
