Jesus says in one of his many Divine Mercy Holy messages to mankind through Saint Faustina requesting prayers within His Divine Mercy Chaplet for different groups of people and sinners including prayers requested for Jesus' "Priests" and "Religious":
First Day:
"Today bring to Me all mankind and especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My Mercy. In this way, you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me'.
Second day (with Jesus' 9 Day Novena commencing His Good Friday):
"Today bring to Me the souls of priests and religious and immerse them in My Unfathomable Mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My Mercy flows out upon mankind".
Jesus knows His 'Good' Priests and His 'Good' Religious Bob of which include Priests, Sisters/Nuns, Brothers, Popes, ArchBishops, Bishops, Monsignors, Pastors, Deacons, Ministers throughout the ages.
Jesus to mankind through Saint Faustina:
"I desire that you know more profoundly the Love that burns in My Heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion".
The greatest steps that any professed 'born again Christian' should be doing is focussing on Jesus Christ our Saviour's Life, His bitter Passion, His Stations of His Cross, the Sacrafices during Jesus' Life He made for all mankind, in order to be considered to receive Jesus' Divine Mercy at the hour of our deaths - ie if we have turned to Jesus Christ our Saviour in repentance for our sins, both mortal and venial in genuine remorse from our hearts not just our minds.
To attend Church in order to receive Jesus/God's/Holy Spirit's Blessed Holy Sacraments of Love:
Again, Jesus states to all Christians and Catholics it is our Hearts that should be receiving Jesus, not our minds, however, Bob, Jesus encourages us to receive His Holy Eucharist of which Jesus is manifested in His Holy Tabernacle near His Altars and thereby attending His Catholic Church and Christian Churches which are made of God's Universal Church and all are encouraged to receive Jesus' Blessed Holy Eucharist/Host of which Jesus Himself pre-Blesses prior to Holy Mass and Services:
"My great delight is to unite Myself with souls...when I come to a human heart in Holy Communion, My Hands are full of all kinds of graces which I want to give to that soul".
"How painful it is to Me that souls so seldom unite themselves to Me in Holy Communion.
"It pains Me very much when religious souls receive the Sacrament of Love merely out of habit, as if they do not understand what this food is. I find neither faith nor Love in their hearts. I go to such souls with great reluctance. It would be better if they did not receive...".
However, Jesus expects us to approach Him in His Holy Eucharist from our hearts - to receive His/God's Blessings, Gifts and Graces of which Jesus says He gives our souls now and eternally Bob.
"Do this in memory of Me".
"Do this in remembrance of Me".
...after the repentance of sins to Jesus Christ our Saviour from our hearts.
We can be born again Christians - re-awakened in our souls and hearts - however repentance from our hearts to Jesus in sorrow for hurting Him and others is necessary first, including receiving Jesus' Blessed Holy Sacraments of Love - His Holy Eucharist/Host from our hearts - that Jesus pre-blesses for us, while being manifested in His Holy Tabernacle at each Holy Mass...with the Holy Command of Jesus Christ our Saviour's:
"Do this in remembrance of Me".
Look, in genuine knowing in my heart Bob, if one turns away or encourages others to turn away from Jesus/God The Most High's Universal Church - and Jesus makes reference to His Catholic and Universal Church - to receive His Blessed Holy Sacraments of Love, of which Jesus/God/The Holy Spirit are Present - we are not doing our souls any good doing this eternally.
It does not matter for Christians or new Christians what denomination one has been born with or turned: we turn to Jesus Christ our Saviour in our hearts (you are correct and I wholewheartedly agree), completely Trust in Jesus, focus on Jesus Himself and His bitter Passion, His Sorrowful Stations of His Cross, because it is through Jesus Christ our Saviour that we can come to truly know "The Father" - Jesus Christ our Saviour's Heavenly Father and Jesus/God/The Holy Spirit our "Heavenly Father" - then if this is done - in Jesus/God/The Holy Spirit's Holy Will, we are able to "RECEIVE" Jesus/God/The Holy Spirit speaking to our hearts IF we are repentant of sins daily/regularly/monthly - not committing mortal sins and receiving Jesus/God/The Holy Spirits Loving Blessed Holy Sacraments of Love regularly during our lives.
Confession:
"When you go to Confession, know this, that I am waiting for you in the confessional. I am only hidden by the priest, but I Myself act in the soul. Here the misery of the soul meets the God of Mercy. From this Fount of Mercy souls draw Graces solely with the vessel of trust. If their trust is great, there is no limit to My Generosity".[/I]
Holy Scripture of Jesus/God/The Holy Spirit's - Jesus Christ's Proclamation of The Kingdom of God with His Call to Conversion:
"The Time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has now come near, Repent and believe in The Good News".
Here, Jesus is encouraging souls to repentance to Him from their hearts in great Trust.
Love and kindest wishes your Sister in Jesus Christ our Saviour
