Let me ask you point blank, if the apostalic tradition teaches that the Catholic Church is the ONE TRUE CHURCH then is there or is there not salvation outside of the Catholic Church?

No. But I have already explained this to you. One does not have to be a Roman Catholic to be saved - nor does being a Roman Catholic prove salvation has been won. There is no salvation outside the Church - but Vatican 2 has made this clear that some may exist who are part of the Catholic Church and not "know" it.

How can you possibly argue with 1000 silverlings that all authority rest within the Church and then turn right around and argue with me that people can be saved outside of the Church? You can't have it both ways. Either the Apostles hand down everything INSIDE the Church or they didn't. Either the Church hold the truth or it doesn't.

I must warn you that I had a bad several days and I'm in a crabby mood.
