As a Catholic, I believe that I was saved in baptism,[snip]

Is this the doctrine of the Catholic Church?

No.

Do Protestant churches teach that being "Born Again" and carrying a Bible automatically earns you a one-way ticket to Heaven no matter what you do afterwards?

If the Catholic Church taught that, I could have saved myself a lot of worry as a 14 year-old for lusting for Diana Rigg. :-)

No.

So, I've now gotten mixed signals. Some say "yes" and you say "no". If possible, is there a link to a source for the official Catholic doctrine in regard to baptism in regard to salvation?
