“My objection is with ANY denomination who says that you have to be them to be saved. THAT is divisive.”

The Catholic Church doesn’t teach that one has to be Catholic to be saved, but that all Salvation comes through the Church.

But the Roman Catholic church has always taught that it alone is THE one true church. So, you are employing a bit of doublespeak.

Besides, Salvation is of the Jews. Not of Judaism; of the Jews. Namely, the Jews' Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, Lord of Heaven and Earth.

Well, there are Catholics who say that all baptized people become Catholic by virtue of being baptized, and that there will only be Catholics in heaven because in heaven everyone is Catholic.

Besides, many and various popes of the RCC have stated otherwise and I have plenty of quotes on hand to demonstrate that. Some of them spoken ex cathedra.
