Son.
What is the event in which God took on flesh and became a man called?

If you have committed a mortal sin, should you receive Communion before going to confession — yes or no, and why?

There are two judgments — one right after you die, one at the end of time. What are they called?
Particular judgment (right after death) and Final or Last Judgment (end of time).
This term means a teaching of the Catholic Church that we are bound to believe even if we don't understand it fully
What is Dogma?
You need this to be able to pray and also believe in things you cannot see. It is like a telescope that helps you see beyond your normal senses and feelings.
What is Faith?
According to the Creed, what will Jesus do when he comes again?
Come in glory to judge the living and the dead — and his kingdom will have no end.
Name all seven sacraments.
Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Confession/Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, Matrimony.
The Creed says we believe in the resurrection of the dead. This means more than just our souls surviving — what does it actually mean?
Our actual bodies will be raised and glorified at the end of time, reunited with our souls. We are whole persons — body and soul — and both will be restored.
Carlo Acutis said "all people are born as originals but many die as photocopies." What did he mean — and how does it connect to our faith?
God made each person unique and with a specific purpose. When we follow the crowd, chase trends, or give in to peer pressure instead of living our faith, we become copies of everyone else rather than the original God created us to be.
