Since I wrote that sometime ago and you (or someone else) already responded to that post it seems strange for you to bring it up now, but to answer your questions:

No.

No.

Yes. Meaning of course that all those in heaven are Catholic no matter what they started out as. All those who are in heaven know the full truth. They are all Catholic. They may not have been Catholics one moment before entering heaven, however.

And my point still stands. Protestants are rarely interested in learning about Christianity so much as Protestant Christianity. This is why John Cardinal Newman, a former Protestant himself, once commented that to go deep into Church history is to cease to be Protestant.

Well shoot that won't be any fun if
everyone is a Catholic.
I was hoping that God would make
everybody be the denomination they
talked about the worst while they were on earth.
Oh well, If I Catholic I must be then so be it.
At least I'll be in Heaven. That's the important part.

One of my fellow Calvinists on this board (long since banned) used to have this as his signature line:

"Recognize that all true Christians will be Calvinists in glory...."

and I have heard it said in effect - that to go deep into the bible is to cease to be a RCC and become a Protestant.
