“Can Protestants be saved?”. Yes if they confess their sins and convert to the One, True, Church. There is no salvation outside the Catholic, UNLESS you are totally ignorant of the Church and have never had the gospel presented to you. For those that know the Catholic Church, and do nothing in the world but put it down and make fun of anyone that happens to be a member of the Catholic Church, there is no salvation. Repent now, or burn in the pits of hell. The choice is yours.

So says Pope NKP_Vet, who has deemed the words in the Roman Catholic Church Catechism that contradict his exclusive salvation gospel as "someone's opinion"?

“So says Pope NKP_Vet, who has deemed the words in the Roman Catholic Church Catechism that contradict his exclusive salvation gospel as “someone’s opinion””

CCC 846.

“Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.336

PS: Every Catholic-bashing protestant on FR knows what the Church teaches for salvation. So ignorance is no excuse.

And when I say that, I get castigated for misrepresenting Catholic teaching, being *poorly catechized* or outright lying.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
