No, that is not a "vicious attack" (good grief!).

You couldn't find the answer you wanted, so you answered a different question. Fair enough, but don't expect an absence of comment on that common debate stratagem.

You remain unable to find an example of any Catholic poster telling a Protestant (or any other denomination) poster that he or she is going to hell.

It just isn't done. We don't make decisions about who is heading for the Bad Place, there's only One who does that.

(Besides, who could dislike such a cute weasel (ferret)? Her name is Rita, and she doesn't look vicious to me at all!)

Well I have run across posts by Catholics saying if you don't believe in trinity you are headed straight to hell. But so far I have only seen quotes similar to above concerning salvation directed at Protestants, which does imply hell to Protestants. And I run across a lot tons of posts like 'Comment #2,263 Removed by Moderator' on these threads, so who knows what was said there. But I am a bit surprised it is difficult to find one more damaging, so perhaps I was wrong in my perception.

I have to remember that pocket weasel for the “science” poster.

You are hell bound, generally speaking, yes, by the fact of your being separated brethren. Excommunication is no small matter, but you cannot excommunicate someone who never held a claim of communion — someone who is not separated brother. I am not making light of it, I am simply pointing out that the real problem here is not words but beliefs.

Annalex went on to post a link to another thread to explain his statement. See these comments, from that other thread, to put his "hell bound" statement into broader context:
- If I were looking for a church to join, I would only consider among those who regard themselves as the only path to salvation. Why bother with the rest?
- The Church is the divine institution, supreme arbiter and sole instrument of salvation for all men.
- well-informed rejection of any dogma of the faith excommunicates

When I reposted annalex' comments a short time later, annalex referred us back to that same explanation, and specifically the post with the "if I were looking for a church to join" comment, for context.
