"My Catholic friends tell me that all non-Catholics are doomed."
If they do, either they are ignorant of Church teaching or they are using shorthand to include all those who Desire to be of Christ (The Baptism of Desire) and are members of His Church. No Catholic ought to preseume to judge the state of another persons soul.

If you aren't a Catholic, are you a member of His Church?
They aren't judging the state of anyone's soul. They just say that the Catholic Church is the only real church of Christ and if you aren't Catholic, you aren't saved. No judgement, just dogma.
