I never said it did. I was saying though, that the Church claims and has always claimed that outside the Church (the Body of Christ), there is no salvation.
It's only because you refuse to read what I posted that you still don't see that the infallible claim Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus does not necessarily mean one "must be Catholic while alive on Earth" to be saved.
But if you want to continue to resist a Catholic teaching (taught by Councils and Popes) just because it sounds like something it's not, to you, then I can't help you. Sheesh, I never thought I'd get such resistance to this from a fellow Catholic.
The last word is yours if you desperately need it.
The argument you intruded on stated that the church asserts that one must be a catholic in order to achieve salvation
