Excuse me, but is this saying that unless I become a Catholic, worship at its alters, spread its dogma, contribute to its coffers and follow its rules and recognize the Pope as my personal interpreter of Christ, my soul is condemed to Hell?

Yes, it is. But this is an un-nuanced interpretation of the true Catholci position, which allows for mitigating factors which can affect a person's personal culpability for remaining outside of the formal membership of the Church.

If you become aware of the necessity of the Church and refuse to enter, or refuse to honestly investigate her claims, then you will be condemned.

If you labor in ignorance that is invincible, you may be saved. God is not limited to whom He chooses to grace.

And yet He did establish one Church for the purpose of bringing grace into the world.

Emphasis on "may."
