Remember too, that to be in that "church" you must submit to the Pope, and take his word over God's word, and that too is an infallible decree.You make a good point. However, if someone is a member of the RCC and truly places their Faith Alone in JESUS CHRIST do they have to leave? We have fellow Christians in the Episcopal church who are trying to get it to change, do they need to leave?
I think sometimes the LORD leaves them there for a reason. I really believe anybody can be redeemed.

If I found myself in any church that taught contrary to scripture, with "infallible leaders" I would in the immortal words of Johnny Horton, run so fast the hounds couldn't catch me , down the Mississippi to the gulf of Mexico

Unlike many other Christians who follow variously identified men, it is necessary for Catholics to believe fully, wholly, and completely in the Gospels of Jesus Christ, and also in the whole Bible. If that is not fulfilled first and foremost, then they are not Catholics.
We do not override the Bible, or leave out whole books when they don’t agree with our theology. There, isn’t it better when we have spoken the truth?
