Oh really? I missed that in mine. Would you mind giving me the section that says that?

Sure, see Catechism 847, which I quoted in post 53, just a few up above your post.

Oh, that is why I missed it.
“Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation”

You misapplied it. Here is your original post:

“Your own Catechism says you do not even need to know the words of Christ to be saved; why should you consider him “led astray”, or wait for him to “come back”? According to your own infallible teachings (the Catechism), Christ and His words are not needed for salvation. Thus neither is the Church.”

Never hearing the Gospel is different than hearing and then twisting. Sort of like your post. A complete distortion.
