What is nonsense is assuming the entire world owes allegiance to the RCC because they insist they did produce the Bible and can be the only interpreter of its message

No, the world owes us nothing. If someone wants to be saved, he has to obey the Gospel and be Catholic, but the choice is entirely his. Many are called, the elect are few.

If someone wants to be saved he/she must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, being Catholic is a denomination of Christianity. When a person is saved he/she is a member of the spiritual body of Christ and automatically is catholic - because that simply means the universal body of Christ. A person can be part of Christ's body no matter what denomination he/she belongs to. Being a Roman Catholic sure doesn't guarantee that, that's for sure, but neither does being a Baptist!
