I'll say it again. The connection to God is within each individual. This is true, without question. The gifts of the spirit, including free will, are given to the individual, not a group. This is true, without question.

To be saved, do God's work, spread His word and law does not require a group. Never has, never will. The prior being true, this must be true as well, arrived at by using God's gift of a brain with intelligence.

That said, it is good to belong to a club of like minded people. Some works are best done in a group. Many like to draw strength from a group. A group is good for PAC.

All of this is the God connected individual's choice. None of this is required to go to Heaven. If it is advertised as required to be saved, that is fraud and and against God's law.

May God light your way through Christ Jesus.

You're ignoring what Christ taught us through St. Paul about the necessity and nature of His Church, into which we must be incorporated as members of His body. There's no way I can force you to look at this. Good day. God bless you.
