Do we get a second chance after death to go to heaven?
Upon learning of my Catholic aunt’s unexpected passing, I can only hope that she called on Jesus on her last dying breath. It is written in Romans 10:13, “Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” Also, it is too late for me to pray for where she is going because the bible clearly states, “And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment,” in Hebrews 9:27.

I think it is quite judgmental for one to equate a genuine prayer done at a pivotal time in a person’s life as a “Magic prayer” especially if it came from a truly repentant heart. Only people who associate with Calvinism coin that term, yet ultimately, a changed life is the testimony.
Acts 2:21 clearly states, “And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
It wouldn’t be magic if someone truly believed that. It would be faith in action.
