>>There are some exretemely snooty Catholics that are going to be sorely disappointed in paradise having to be surrounded by all these filthy non-Catholics.<<

No actually, there are going to be some surprised Protestants that they are welcomed by us.

"It follows that these separated churches and Communities, though we believe they suffer from defects, are deprived neither of significance nor importance in the mystery of salvation. In fact the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as instruments of salvation, whose value derives from that fullness of grace and of truth which has been entrusted to the Catholic Church."[12]
From the actual document from the Vatican

“In fact the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as instruments of salvation”

That is truly interesting especially as I read in a post upthread that the Catholic Church views itself as the ONLY way to Salvation.
