Maybe if Coreopsis or yourself also provides verses for these concepts:
"people are not really converted because they have not learned about true repentence" ~does the bible really say people are not really converted because they haven't learnt this concept called "true repentance"? Firstly, does the bible teach "true" repentance or does it just teach repentance? Secondly, is it something to be learnt, must we learn how to repent before we can truly be saved?
"taught to repent before God" ~ - this also carries the theme of being "taught to repent". Also the notion of "repenting before God" is a concept. Catholics may repent before a priest, or statue of Mary.
" believe that it is only Christ Who saves them" ~ again, this must be clarified as it is a modern evangelical Christian concept and needs biblical support. There are others involved in salvation as well. Possibly the Catholic/Orthodox might disagree that "only Christ" saves - "there is no salvation outside of the Church". Also, Acts 2:40 suggests that we can save ourselves - "
Save yourselves from this untoward generation".
Coreopsis's post is full of concepts.
