Why be sad? Catholics believe those who are not baptized in the Catholic Church aren't saved either. No one is guilt free.

Oh, there you go again! I'm a cradle Catholic (strike one), grade and middle school Catholic (probably strike two), and believe in purgatory, heaven and hell (strike three?) and I was NEVER taught that those who are unbaptized in the Catholic church are going to hell. And, trust me, if that were the case, Sister Mary Ethelgene would have drummed it into us.

I can be sad that there are religions (mine included) who DARE TO PRESUME they know better than God who's getting into heaven. I can be sad that there are people who think all you have to do to get to heaven is to be immersed in water. Oh, and How does that work with unbaptized babies? If the CoC thinks unbaptized souls go to hell, then where do the babies go?

And I am sad that people choose to beat up on others because the way they practice religion is different.Not very Christlike, is it?
