I would suggest the Catholic Church (which I am a former member) gets their own house in order before suggesting others are not worthy of being saved. Seems to be me there are plenty of baby killers within its own ranks.

The Church is Christ's bride (Ephesians 5:29) and has "no spot, wrinkle or blemish" (Ephesians 5:27). Individual clergy may commit sins, even popes commit sins because in the Church there are both "weeds and wheat" (Matthew 13:30).

That's not the church you are describing...There are no 'weeds' in the church...
