Sure it does. I was raised Catholic. I know what it taught and that is the case. The reason Catholics can’t snow people on the Catholic Church position is that too many of us know better.

Those who go off to heretics, and all who leave the Church for heresy, abandon the name of Christ. Those who call these men “Christians” are in grievous error, since they neither understand Scripture at all nor the faith which it contains. St Athanasius (”Discourse Against the Arians”, Bk. I, ch.1,no.1, pg 26:11)
In name only is Christ found among certain heretics who want to be called Christians
He who falls away from the doctrine and faith of the Catholic Church would not be, nor would even be called, a Christian. (St. Athanasius)
All true Christians are members of the Church. (St. John Eudes)
Whosoever and whatsoever he might be, he who is not in Christ’s Church is no Christian! (St. Cyprian)
A manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. (St Robert Bellarmine)
Many will come in My name, saying: “I am Christ,” and they will seduce many. Many will say to Me on that day: “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name and cast out devils in Thy name and done many miracles in Thy name?” Then will I profess unto them: Depart from Me, you who work iniquity; I never knew you! St Matthew 24:4-5, 7.21-23
Pope Pius IX, Etsi multa (#25), November 21, 1873: “Therefore the holy martyr Cyprian, writing about schism, denied to the pseudo-bishop Novatian even the title of Christian, on the grounds that he was cut off and separated from the Church of Christ. ‘Whoever he is,’ he says, ‘and whatever sort he is, he is not a Christian who is not in the Church of Christ.’”

Pope Innocent III: “There is but one universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved.” Fourth Lateran Council, 1215.
Pope Boniface VIII: “We declare, say, define, and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.” From his Bull Unam Sanctam, 1302.
Pope Eugene IV: “The most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, can have a share in life eternal; but that they will go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless before death they are joined with Her; and that so important is the unity of this ecclesiastical body that only those remaining within this unity can profit by the sacraments of the Church unto salvation, and they alone can receive an eternal recompense for their fasts, their almsgivings, their other works of Christian piety and the duties of a Christian soldier. No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ, can be saved, unless he remain within the bosom and the unity of the Catholic Church.” From his Bull Cantate Domino, 1441.)
Amen!
My husband, an ex-RC schooled by Jesuits through grad school and now a grateful Presbyterian and rabid reformer, says the same thing.
If you really want to know what the RCC teaches, ask an ex-RC.
They know why they left. And now they know the truth.
