I am not aware of a single Christian denomination that takes the doctrinal position that their church only makes up the "universal church" (with only its members going to heaven)...Citations please.

"These words clearly express the official position of the Church of Rome. There is no salvation apart from participation in the sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. There is no other means of obtaining saving grace."

I was not referencing the Catholic Church when I made my statement relative to Christian denominations.

The Church of Rome does not adhere to salvation by faith in Christ alone.

Besides, hasn't the post Vatican II Church of Rome become much more of a universalist church? Or am I just making an incorrect conclusion based on statements by Mother Teresa, Mel Gibson and others?
