“Outside the Church no salvation,”

Wow, this statement is wrong on so many levels. There is no salvation without a knowledge and acceptance of Jesus Christ. The church, be it Catholic or Protestant are created by man to honor God but are fallible by their very nature. I didn’t read much more because it started off on such a dumb premise that the rest of the article should be considered religious fecal matter.

Actually, the Catholic Church was started by Christ.

Yes, but do not forget that the Church is the Body of Christ, as St. Paul taught us. So to reject the Church is to reject Christ. The Church is provided gratuitously with the charism of infallibility by Christ solely for His Glory, for the preservation and teaching of His Word.
