Here is a section of the Baltimore Catechism:

136. What is the Church?

The Church is the congregation of all baptized persons united in the same true faith, the same sacrifice, and the same sacraments, under the authority of the Sovereign Pontiff and the bishops in communion with him.


Wow! Only those subject to the Pontiff can belong to this Church?

I guess the RCC still teaches that Unum Sanctum is an infallible pronouncement.

Rather an exclusive organization isn't it.

Sure, unless they have invincble mental impediments to joining.

Were you under some other impression?
