I love how the “Catholics” are attacked by other Christians, when it’s the Catholics who say everyone else is going to hell. Never mind the amount of Protestants that smuggle Bibles into the underground church in China or the Middle East, or who spend their summers on mission trips to 3rd world countries, or who help out in their local food pantries. They are still going to hell. If you don’t observe our rituals, you’re a goner. You’re just so persecuted.

-——Catholics who say everyone else is going to hell.-——

‘Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel
of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a
sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his
will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience -
those too may achieve eternal salvation.’” (Catechism of the Catholic Church # 847)

Much can be said on the subject of the Church’s position regarding non-Catholics and non-Catholic Christians. The previous paragraph regards the salvation of non-Catholics.

Any who do are equally as clueless those gullible enough to believe such nonsense is a tenet of Catholicism

Real Catholics would never pretend to condemn anyone to hell, or even dare say who will be saved or not. That would amount to playing God, and only God can make those determinations. That is in our Catechism (official doctrine). When I’ve heard people claiming that others are saved, or not, I get the jeeby jeeves. It’s not right. I’ve been a Catholic all my life and NEVER heard a Catholic priest claim someone would go to hell. Also, Catholics are involved in a few chairities as well. Where did learn these things Country Gal? I promise you that they are such misguided facts that I’m almost concerned about the infuences around you and your welfare. I pray that the spirit of truth guides you and protects you. I really do. God Bless you.

I've been a Catholic for 3/4 of a century and never have I ever heard a Catholic teach that anyone is going to hell....they won't even state that Hitler is in hell...that's just NEVER done. I have no idea where you heard that nonsense, but such a fact doesn't exist.

Catholics are not attacked by other Christians, you cannot attack the truth, you can merely state your opinions why you disagree, but the truth remains. Can you attack the sun because you think its too hot to play golf.....go ahead, it's still hot!!
