But, you (or Catholics) allege, that one must be a member of the Catholic church to be saved.
Not me, brother. No, the Catholic Church doesn't teach that one must go to a Roman Catholic Church on Sunday to be saved. I wish I had access to my other computer, I could cut and paste my response to that question, which comes up quiet often.
I'm in a hurry, so here goes...If one has been validly baptized in the formula used by Catholics (in the name of the Trinity, done with water and the intent that the Church means the action to have), then you are now a member of the Catholic Church, in some mysterious and hidden way, even if baptized by a Protestant. Congratulations!
We enter the Church through Baptism. Thus, you are part of the Church - although a person may not realize that. While a person can remove himself from the Church community by following the teachings that do not match the Catholic Church's, God will judge whether you are truly outside the Church or not depending on your knowledge and will - we call it invincible ignorance. If you believe you are serving God and are not aware of your Catholic roots or that the Catholic Church is the True Church established by Christ, then you are considered ignorant; if you know all of this, and yet refuse to enter into the visible Church, then such a person is obstinately refusing Christ. (he who hears you hears Me, and he who rejects you rejects Me and the One who sent Me). He has excommunicated HIMSELF out of the Church.
This only touches the surface. Write me if you want to know more, as I got to go.

Dozens of posts ago, I and others stated that this is manifestly false. Yet you trot it out again.
