Salvation is only through the Catholic Church
Weird, my bible says:
1 Thessalonians 5:9 - For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ
2 Thessalonians 2:13 - But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
2 Timothy 3:15 - and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 2:10 - For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings (of Jesus Christ).
It's not defined, but certainly a theological possibility, since it does not nullify the words of Pope Boniface that salvation comes through the Catholic Church.
I couldn't find Mr. Boniface in my bible.

I couldn't find Mr. Boniface in my bible. I couldn't find the word "Bible", either. That must mean the canon is an arbitrary concoction of man.

What's even funnier, is that God doesn't offer salvation through the Catholic Church, but He chose to offer the Bible through it. That's ironic, don't you think?

"I couldn't find Mr. Boniface in my bible."
Neither will you find the word "Trinity"....but, nonetheless, you believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, don't you?
