someone who is NOT Jewish. therefore, Christians are Gentiles as well. its just a term in Judaism. they dont have a Catholic definition because Catholics are "Gentiles" as well.

It means a non-Jew. Why would a Catholic have a definition of a Jewish term?
- imacatholic2Lv 71 decade ago
Catholics use the term Gentile in the same way as it is used in the New Testament and do not use this term outside of discussing the Bible.
In the New Testament, a Gentile is anyone who is not Jewish.
With love in Christ.

Works is like the relection of Faith. Faith is something you believe ina concept a theory or theology But works is how u practicsed it For example if i say that i believe in Transubtation The body and Blood of Christ but after Mass i go around and receive the Protestant Communion I am not praticising what i preach I am practicisng what i preach For Saint James said If a man has faith but no works What use is it Can he be saved of he does no works and if a man has work but faith what use is it Works can be divided into few categories work of Mercy, works of Charity works of sacrifice and many else Do not listen to the heretic Protetsnat and Luther . Luther was not even sure if Faith and works culd save him so he choose Faith instead minus works and thats why he turns out to be one of the modern architechts of antisemtisim. ony Faith and works can save you By the way the Catholic church belongs to Chrrist our Risen God for whatevere you bound on Earth you bound in Heaven whatever u lose of Earth you lsoe in Heaven So u are insluting Christ and wait the Holy Spirit who lives in JEsus Christ Church Remember what our incarnated God said that if u curse the Holy spirit you will neverbe forgiven So where can you go now when your so called minister does not do confession Amen
