We do not say there is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church. Like you, that is not our place to say. The Church as well teaches that others may be saved.

Has the CC become politically correct? They used to say that there is no salvation outside the CC, didn't they?

The Catholic Church recognizes baptisms made by other faiths that are made in the name of the Trinity. They don't as so many others, require a second or third or fourth baptism.

To give it to you in a nutshell (because a long, dense discussion is beyond my scope of knowledge or time), the Church states that those who have no knowledge of Christ or His Church yet live a life according to God's Natural Law can possibly be saved. It's a doctrine called "Invincible Ignorance."

What it does *NOT* say is that all religions are equal or that all non-Catholics are saved.

Vatican II changed all that. But we still claim the "Fullness of the Faith."
