This is directly from your site, my FRiend...

""The full revelation of divine truth is given" in the "mystery of Jesus Christ." No additional revelation is expected in the future.
Elements of Christianity were placed in other religions by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus is the only savior of mankind.
All who are saved achieve this status through the Roman Catholic Church.
Salvation is possible to those who are not Roman Catholics or Eastern Orthodox.
The prayers and rituals of other religions may help or hinder their believers. Some practices may prepare their membership to absorb the Gospel. However, those rituals which "depend on superstitions or other errors... constitute an obstacle to salvation."
Members of other religions are "gravely deficient" relative to members of the Church of Christ who already have "the fullness of the means of salvation."

Somehow I'm not seeing your quote...
"As I understand it, your church makes the claim and takes the position that anyone who is not Catholic, who is not 'sprinkled with blessed holy water', by a 'Priest', can not be a real born again Christian..."

anywhere in this.

Again, want to give a reference? From the Catholics post VII?

From your cite:

"The children who are born into these Communities and who grow up believing in Christ cannot be accused of the sin involved in the separation, and the Catholic Church embraces upon them as brothers, with respect and affection. For men who believe in Christ and have been truly baptized are in communion with the Catholic Church even though this communion is imperfect. ...it remains true that all who have been justified by faith in Baptism are members of Christ's body, and have a right to be called Christian, and so are correctly accepted as brothers by the children of the Catholic Church."
