There is a crucial difference between Arminians and Roman Catholics. Arminians as wrong as they are for worshiping at the alter of free will, do not deny sola fide. Again, Rome on the other hand, teaches that good works help to "merit" eternal life. A Roman Catholic who believes this denies the Gospel.
