“What I find puzzling is that many Catholics concede that Protestant Christians CAN be saved and are genuine Christians, while being without that core teaching of the absolute necessity of receiving the Eucharist for salvation.

I’d like a lurking Catholic to explain this. Are these ecumenical Catholics just being devious, or do they not believe Catholic doctrine?”

It is not Catholic doctrine that to be saved one must receive the Catholic Eucharist. It is Catholic doctrine that validly receiving the Catholic Eucharist does strengthen one on the road to heaven.

Then it is Catholic doctrine that Catholics never have to receive the Catholic Eucharist to be saved. For it IS Catholic doctrine that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church. That's well established.

Can you POST this doctrine instead of just saying it's out there; somewhere?
