"that if anyone is counting on getting to heaven by any other means than Jesus Christ, you can forget it..."
The Church doesn't teach that. As a matter of fact, the Church recently released a document that re-affirms that position that only through Jesus Christ is one saved.

Document issued on September 5, 2000, by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The document concerns "the uniqueness and universality of salvation through Jesus Christ and the Church."
