John 14:6 says Jesus is the
truth.
1 Timothy 3:15 says the Church is the pillar of truth.
There is no conflict.
The Catholic Church is also not the "way" to Heaven, that path is exclusively through Jesus Christ.
Congratulations, you agree with the Catholic Church.

Further, according to our thinking the Catholic Church is not a denomination, not one church among many. The Church herself is the body of Christ, and as such bears him, to the world.
In other words, it's tricky to distinguish properly between Christ and His Church. Of course there IS a distinction but it's not so easy to draw.
So clearly there is a difference of opinion, but the first step may be to deal with how we are going to phrase the proposition under contention.
SO it seems to me, anyway.

The problem for the Catholic Church is, IT thinks it is the only way to heaven. No other Christian denominations save for the Catholic Church are "saved" in the church's view.Abjectly false.

..."non-catholics" cannot share communion with Catholics?Anyone who believes Holy Eucharist is the Real Presence of Christ, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, can partake of communion at a Catholic Mass in confidence.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Cults hold sway over their followers by indoctrinating them that their cult is the **only** path to salvation. It's sacraments are the **only** valid sacraments. It's priests are the **only** authorized ministers and salvation without their ordinances is impossible.
And...If a follower leaves the one and only true cult then they are damned to a horrible fate in hell.
Personally, I thank God every day that I am free. My salvation is through Jesus and not a specific church. I no longer break the First Commandment by worshiping a church. I worship God and salvation is not through any cult's ordinances but through faith in Jesus and His grace.
