This is largely false, certainly misleading, and it is a point addressed by
nearly the entirety of my post.
<<Not so for the Protestant,who not only accumulates wealth in this world,
does good works in this world--accumulates moral goodness or evil but
accumulates sins. >>
Ditto.
<<The cycle, the life and death cycle of sin, repentance, forgiveness, found
in religions from Catholicism to Native American religions to African
religions, is absent from Protestantism.>>
Also false.
