It’s not that we “think” anyone is going to Hell. It’s very clear in the Bible that the unsaved will go to Hell.

I’m recalling a conversation I had last week with my R.C. friend. As a Baptist, I believe that the Bible is the Final Authority. She told me the Catholics don’t believe that. They think there’s a lot of good stuff in the Bible, but the final authority is what their human leaders pass on to them.

Well, your friend is wrong. But, since you raised the subject, here is a question for you. At the time of the early christians, there were many different books and letters in circulation. Q: Who decided which books should be in the Canon of Scripture ... and ... by what authority did they make that determination?

Holy Tradition is not the “final” authority as your state.

Catholicism is like a three legged stool supported by

the Holy Bible, Holy Tradition and the Magisterium
