A conscious informed rejection of the truths of the Catholic faith is what condemns to hell

The doctrine of Mary's bodily ascension into heaven and her immaculate conception and her being considered a mediator are all "truths" according to Rome.

If a Protestant disagrees with those beliefs, is he then "condemned to hell?"

If a Protestant disagrees with [the late in formulation Catholic Marian dogmas], is he then "condemned to hell?"

It is about the tenth time, "doctor" that I explain. If you (not being personal) reject them as an act of informed free will, of course you do go to (drum roll) Hell. If you fail to form a belief in them due to honest doubt or lack of familiarity with them, that would not be a factor.

A course in reading comprehension is available from me at a modest fee, to defray the costs of typing.

The doctrine of Mary's bodily ascension into heaven...

Not Catholic teaching at all.
