I have to agree to some extent with knarf here.

Although ultimately it is up to God in every circumstance, Pope Francis (then Cardinal Bergoglio) said something that made it seem as if there is no need for this atheist to convert. I mean, God "could" after all save him anyway.

The Pope did not make it clear that the best way to achieve salvation is by becoming Catholic. But this sort of rhetoric is nothing new.

Right, everything inside the quotes, bolded and unbolded, is what Bill Tammeus said, the author of this article whom I was quoting.

Next paragraph, right after the quote, I remarked that this is also Catholic Theology: it is up to God to determine who will have eternal life.

In other words, in this instance, Reformed Theology agrees with what Catholic Theology has always taught.

I did not say that "Catholicism has to reform to align with the scriptures." I don't know where you got that.
