Being accurate in reporting prevents counter arguments of "being misrepresented." That's why I think it's important to be precise, here, as well as being fair.
While not using the word “damnation” some of the quotes paint the same picture.
You will begin to lose Christ, you will be defeated, protestantism is christ-less, fall away from the grace of god, you will not come to a proper ending..

What does it mean to fall away from the grace of God? What does it mean to lose Christ? What is not a proper ending?

All those say to me, that if you leave you are doomed. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying.
