No, what the author is saying is that the only sure way to be saved is through the Catholic Church. However, it isn't the only way, utlimately my reading of that and Church documents (since VII) is that the Protestant Churches have the Truth that is Christ Crucified and Christ Risen, but not the fullness of the truth. I realize this is symantics, but that is the teaching. That the Roman Catholic Church is the One True Church instituted by Christ through the Apostles, the Protestant Churches while aware of the Truth of Christ and preaching that, do not have the fullness of the Truth embodied in The Church. I hope that helped somewhat.

So, as a Baptist, I can get saved, but I have to try a little harder? If I was a Catholic I would be guaranteed?
I'm really being tongue in cheek. Your post was helpful and I appreciate it.
