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.

BWA HAHAHAHAHA!
"It just isn't done"???

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.

Thanks for the find and effort on the post. It probably won’t satisfy all of them though. There is enough negative posting on both sides for either one to claim innocence.

It took you two days to find it? It’s not as prevalent as you fantasize. But we all need a fantasy or two, right?

Well done. You should always read my posts, ask for clarifications, and have an easy access to them. There are personal database programs, such as Microsoft Access to help with organizing references to my posts. Even a simple flat file would do on limited budgets.

AnAmericanMother is, of course, perfectly correct as well. I know, for example, that as an anti-Catholic you cannot go to heaven, but I don’t know whether by the grace of our sovereign Lord Jesus Christ you convert to Catholicism at the hour of your death if not sooner. For which conversion I don’t cease to pray to Our Lady most Holy Mother of God Mary.
