I pray this is not the case. As heated as we may be at times, the thought that any would not be saved is frightening. Reliance on a body of men for your eternal salvation makes no sense when our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST came and took care of it.

I hear you, and I pray the same. But for them God is a helper and man does the saving, both through individual free will and the rituals of the Church. Men like to think they have the power and are in full control. If Christ actually had all the power, and accomplished His mission in full, then it would necessarily mean less power for men. This, sadly, is untenable for them.

All we can do is pray for them and hope the Holy Spirit moves them.

The gospel is so simple to understand, this may be why these sects were so slow to have Bibles translated in the vernacular and encourage members of their sects to read them. If they read Scripture they can't help but start asking questions.
