Neither does Catholic, Lutheran, Calvinist, JW, none of them do.

And yet, within each of the Christian traditions you have mentioned there are those who were and are born-again Christians.

God honors the choices of Men/Women to repent and believe, wherever they are. And He may even require them to stay within those churches to spread His Good News where it is needed.

Amen to that.

And He may even require them to stay within those churches to spread His Good News where it is needed.

If you read the scriptures, you'd see that this doesn't ring true.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith The Lord. (2 Corinthians 6:14,17a.)

All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is not self-contradictory. We can witness and share the gospel with unbelievers, but we are commanded to not forsake the gathering of the saints.

I seriously doubt the wisdom of one who does so. The church is for the equipping of the saints to share the gospel. Those who don't go to church, aren't soul winning.
