I believe the site is from Schismatics who are either ultra trads or sedevacanists or perhaps both. So they’re opinion is not supported by the official teaching of the Catholic Church.

I believe the site is from Schismatics who are either ultra trads or sedevacanists or perhaps both. So they’re opinion is not supported by the official teaching of the Catholic Church.

Seems to me that verdugo has quite convincingly proven his case:

“The most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, can have a share in life eternal; but that they will go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless before death they are joined with Her; and that so important is the unity of this ecclesiastical body that only those remaining within this unity can profit by the sacraments of the Church unto salvation, and they alone can receive an eternal recompense for their fasts, their almsgivings, their other works of Christian piety and the duties of a Christian soldier. No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ, can be saved, unless he remain within the bosom and the unity of the Catholic Church.” (Pope Eugene IV, the Bull Cantate Domino, 1441.)

There's no way to interpret that as saying anything but "only card-carrying Catholics can be saved"

verdugo- thank you very much. Finally a Catholic with the stones to man-up and proclaim traditional Catholic teaching on the true meaning of extra ecclesiam nulla salus. I get quite weary of Catholics on this forum going all wobbly over it. For myself, I have no problem in stating that if you are adhere to Catholic doctrine, especially works righteousness, you are doomed to hell. Nothing personal, right?
