This is quite accurate!“

I can accept this. Only “bad” Catholics become Protestants because they finally realize the truth of Romans 3….there is no one that is righteous, no, not one. There is no one who does good, no, not even one.

So, “bad” Catholics realize what the Scripture teaches: you can’t work or earn your salvation. Righteousness must be attained to be saved and that is only imputed by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. It’s the beautiful doctrine of the substitutionary atonement of Christ.

Paul isn't talking about individual righteousness, or lack thereof, he's speaking of corporate righteousness. Meaning, neither Jew nor Gentile as a whole are righteous as a people.

Agreed, because if they were good Catholics, they would know this is exactly what the Catholic church teaches about initial justification.
