The vatican better excommunicate itself then. There's that pesky CCC #841 claiming equality with Allah. Since I don't see THAT happening.....quite a few heretic Catholics get a pass.

Leoni answered: Not one single heretic "gets a pass". They are all condemned to eternal perdition, if they die unrepentant, whether Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox, ALL heretics are condemned to eternal perdition, along with the rest of the unbelievers.
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, “Cantate Domino,” 1441, ex cathedra:
“The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews or heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the end of their lives; that the unity of this ecclesiastical body is of such importance that only those who abide in it do the Church’s sacraments contribute to salvation and do fasts, almsgiving and other works of piety and practices of the Christian militia productive of eternal rewards; and that nobody can be saved, no matter how much he has given away in alms and even if he has shed blood in the name of Christ, unless he has persevered in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.”
