It's easy to see why the RCC is such an authoritarian outfit when they exclude so much of the world from receiving the Gospel and instead distill the love of Jesus through ritual and "other Christs."

And here I thought that Calvinists were the exclusivist organization, because only they were preselected for the prize in heaven. At least that what they seem to say, that God MUST give them salvation because THEY have said so...

But really. I think it would be wiser to not type what you typed, since it makes you look pretty ignornant. A simple glance at the Catechism will show you are blurting out the usual "strawman" arguments. Since you undoubtedly have a Catechism (you seem to "know" a lot about what we believe, so I figure you have a Catechism...), I will just point you to paragraph 839-848. Come back and then tell me what you think about what you just typed...

Now that's making it personal, jo kus, and I know you are better than that. (Also, when hurling an insult, it's best to spell it correctly.)

God gives salvation to whom He will according to His unmerited, free grace, not through men's good works. I'll skip the catechism and let's both reread Ephesians 1 & 2.
