McCarthy and Wahlberg, who married in 2013, have opened up more about their Catholic faith in recent years. During a 2022 interview, the Blue Bloods actor explained the impact of religion on his life during an appearance on Fox & Friends.
“[The faith] part of the discipline has really afforded me all the other wonderful things in my life, my family, my career, being able to turn my life around,” he shared. “I grew up from very humble beginnings, obviously had a troubled youth.”
Wahlberg added, “Once I realized that God was calling me and really wanting to help me and turn my life around, and knew that I had potential. Once I started to become more disciplined, really, the world became full of opportunity. So, I just want to share that with people and their own. But just being the best versions of themselves.”

Jesus is not God, so I don't think he's as saved as he thinks he is. There is one One God, no partners, helpers or intercessors.

He was God in the flesh the ETERNAL son of God born of a virgin sinless and he became sin for us who knew no sin and died and ressurected in the flesh so that we can live through faith in his blood and the only way to escape eternity in Hell.

Why do you believe Jesus is not God? Have you looked into the historical evidence for His existence, Him predicting that He would rise from the dead, and then His resurrection? It’s pretty amazing! Though you may not agree that He rose from the dead, can we agree that only God could predict his own resurrection and then accomplish it? I encourage you to look into the evidence for Jesus and His resurrection.

God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. The 3 in 1. The Triune God.
