There is no salvation without a knowledge and acceptance of Jesus 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.

[Dmitry Vukicevich]

That Church is not the “Catholic Church” but the catholic (universal) church. Peter was not the first pope there were no titles in the church only those that believed Jesus was who he said he was, and if Mary was so important you think either Paul or Peter would have said something about her? Where are these scriptures? In fact in 1 Timothy 2:5 states “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,”
