>> What do you not understand about "WHOSOEVER?" <<

Make your argument, and I'm sure I'll understand it. But when I ask if pagans can be saved, and you point out 3:16, you seem to be missing the issue. I'm askig about pagans, and you refer to a verse about those who believe in Jesus.

>> If you're bringing someone to Christ I understand, many Catholics have brought people to Christ, and I dare say probably more than any other donomination thoughout history, but the focus of the Catholic church is not centered on Christ, it's centered on itself. <<

That's absurd. The Church is the body of Christ. Nearly every word uttered in the course of a mass is a quotation from scripture, excet the homily, which is an explanation of the readings, which are scripture. The Church even confesses public revelation is complete within the scripture. (This is as close as you can get to sola scritura without being self-contradicting.)

Again what do you not understand about the meaning of the word, whosoever?

John 3:16 is written to pagans...
