Indeed, salvation comes ordinarily through the visible Catholic Church and her Sacraments. Exceptions exist, as God wills: conversion might be close to the hour of death or come in circumstances that preclude physical coming to confession and the Eucharist.
This is why the frequent repetition of Hail Mary is advisable at all times:
Hail Mary, Full of Grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art though among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners
Now and in the hour of our death
Amen.
Pray it for yourself and for others.

What of those who are saved by Christ, fully accept that salvation, and yet never take communion?
Are you contending that they would be less saved by virtue of their not taking communion?
If so, that is elevating communion above being saved by Christ, and saying that being saved by Christ is insufficient to in fact be saved if not supplemented by communion.

Frankly, I never understood why anyone would want to pray to anyone other than our Lord Jesus and the Father when our Lord asked us to pray directly to Him and the Father. Do you have a "busy" signal?
