No non-Catholic makes it to heaven?

You know I would never say this. Fr. Feeney was excommunicated for saying this.

I'm saying any believer has a better chance of final perseverance and eternal salvation in Christ's Church than a Church where only part of the Gospel is preached, admixed to varying degrees with grave error.

You know my theology, Polycarp.

If I were to die right now am I hell bound? Purgatory bound? or Heaven bound?

"I'm saying any believer has a better chance of final perseverance and eternal salvation in Christ's Church..."

Yup, arminianism and roman catholicism believes in nothing more than that salvation is one big Cosmic Crap Shoot!

Rather:

"We believe that the same good God, after He had created all things, did not forsake them or give them up to fortune or chance, but that He rules and governs them according to His holy will, so that nothing happens in this world without His appointment; nevertheless, God neither is the Author of nor can be charged with the sins which are committed..."
[Article 13 of the Belgic Confession of faith, 1561]

Jean

(p.s. -did it ever occur to you that Augustines use of the term 'Catholic Church' could be the same use in the phrase that I repeat as a confession every Sunday???? "....I believe in one holy catholic church...." [Apostles Creed]. Catholic means 'universal' -not ~necessarily~ just the Roman church!)
