<ul>
<li>04:35 – Considering Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. If the majority of bishops left the RCC, is that a sign they are a false church? Also, if Catholics changed liturgy/fasting rules while EO have been consistent, is that a sign they are a false church?</li>
<li>20:30 – How to Respond to the claim. Did first-century Christians pray to the saints? My protestant friend says it started in the third century.</li>
<li>31:05 – What do Catholics believe they have to do to be saved, and how do I respond to the once saved always saved belief? What are simple verses to refute that?</li>
