I have never heard Catholics say the same about protestants
I will say it, but only about certain denominations, prosperity gospel and anything else in the same zip code who think 1. God blesses people in every day life based on how devout they are, and 2. Good works are not required to enter the kingdom of heaven, only faith.
The first just serves to justify existing hierarchy and inaction to achieve a more just society, and the second justifies any sin or inaction as long as you tell yourself you believe.
