[Salvation]

What Luther and Calvin thought and taught is not a dogma of the Catholic Church.

Do you know the difference between dogma and doctrine?

Yes, creeds are dogmatic. While the Mary baloney may be dogmatic to Catholics, it certainly isn't to any other Christian. By Catholic definition, other assemblies of 'believers' could have no 'dogma' since they have no Magisterium or Pope to proclaim it.

Old time (Trent) Catholics said if you weren't Catholic, you weren't Christian, no salvation, which made one wonder why there were the two terms. Not that it matters what the Catholics say today, but we do know if you were a Muslim, you step to the head of the non-Catholic line. Catholics proclaim more dogma than any. The 'bull', no pun intended in this posting is a Catholic claim about the Reformation, a strange place to find an impartial understanding of the Reformation if that is one's intent.

Nor should it have been, they weren't Catholics anymore. Which is why it is amusing to think the truth about reformation teaching would be found in a Catholic publication.
