The Catholic Church doesnt 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.

No, I’m not speaking “doublespeak”. It is my interpretation of metmom’s post that she thinks the Catholic Church teaches that one has to formally be a member of the Catholic Church to be saved. The Church doesn’t teach this. She does teach that She is the One True Church. By teaching that all Salvation comes through the Church means that the Church teaches that the Grace necessary for Salvation comes through the Church but this DOES NOT mean that those who aren’t formal members of the Church can’t be saved.
