[Cicero]

For what it's worth, Catholic teaching is that there is no salvation except through Jesus Christ, and no salvation except through His Church.

HOWEVER. God gives grace to whom He will. Thus virtuous pagans, Jews, and Protestants may well, according to Catholic belief, be extended this grace.

Catholics believe that grace is largely channeled through the Sacraments, as established by Jesus in the Bible. But there is extra-sacramental grace as well. Thus Catholics pray for Christians, Jews, theists, believers, and all people to be saved. It's easier in the Church, but it's possible outside of--yet channeled through--the Church.

[plain talk]

no salvation except through His Church

Is Catholic doctrine interpreting "His Church" as being limited to Catholic churches or the broader family of Christian churches. Just trying to understand.
