" Either you are in His Church or you cannot get to heaven."
So, if I'm reading this correctly, His Church is the Catholic church. Therefore, anyone not Catholic is going to hell.
Thanks. I think I've got it now.
Point of order.
The Church has always taught that there are those who are Catholic and don't know it, or would be Catholic if they had the opportunity but can't, or if they were fully informed.
(It's not as though this hasn't been thought of before!)
That's incorrect.
If you've been baptized you're Catholic, whether you realize it, and whether you want to be or not.
Technically there is no such thing as a non-Catholic Christian. All there are are Catholics who have fallen away from the church, lapsed, or etc.
This is why if you've been baptized in another denomination and you convert to Catholicism you do not have to be re-baptized. Though you still have to partake in the other sacaraments (e.g. Confirmation).
Catholic = Universal, He founded ONE Church, a Universal Church. Get it?
