Why are Catholics not more Righteous than non-Catholic Christians?
Edit: I have come to the conclusion that a major premise of my question IS indeed in error - I have no idea who holds to what sin and how much, and it was foolish of me to make a claim to. Only God knows the heart.
Still, I wish to leave up the post for the reason that it seems to have prompted good respones, and I would like to preserve them.
I think I may make a separate post to ask a similar, but more appropriate question. One with less assumptions
Original text:
It seems to me that in general being Catholic does not on average lead to a higher chance of Holy living.
Catholics, though partaking in the Graces of the Eucharist, the state of Grace through the sacrament of reconciliation, and generally being in friendship with God, don't seem to have a better ability than protestants to shun vice and grow in virtue.
Apart from adhering to the dogma of the Catholic faith that is. For the scope of this question I will grant that Catholics are better, on average, in not sinning in heresy and schism.
But apart from heresy and schism, the sins of lust, gluttony, wrath, pride, sloth, envy, and greed - Catholics don't seem to shake these sins better than Protestants do.
Shouldn't a better access to Grace lead to a marked improvement in outcomes of actual Holiness?
Yes, we all suffer from concupiscence, but isn't the Holy Spirit supposed to give sanctifying Grace in greater measure to Catholics than to Protestants?
If I'm wrong in my premises, don't hesitate to say so, of course. I understand this is just anecdotal, and I'm no Pastor or Priest.
If this isn't the place for this question, I'm sorry.
