Salvation: “I hate to break this to you, but those people whom you think left the Catholic Church are really still Catholics — although they may not be practicing the faith at this time. When they were baptized a Catholic it was for life. They join famous people like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck — also non=practicing Catholics.

There are three Sacraments that mark a Catholics soul. Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders. Those marks are still there no matter what they or you think about it. They are still Catholics!”

[Dr. Eckleburg]

lolol. Poor Salvation. She speaks the truth as she has been taught by Rome, and yet her statements are denied.

This means you can repent and confess you were wrong and likely be back in good standing with the Church again.Your Baptism is still valid etc... Those who have WILLFULLY left the Church have essentially been excommunicated for the time being by their choice to leave or for other reasons.

Here is what Canon Law says...

Can. 694 §1. A member must be held as ipso facto dismissed from an institute who:

1/ has defected notoriously from the Catholic faith.

And ...

§2. Nevertheless, the institute is to observe equity and the charity of the gospel toward a member who is separated from it.

The following is what ex Catholics(like on FR)are guilty of

Can. 1369 A person who in a public show or speech, in published writing, or in other uses of the instruments of social communication utters blasphemy, gravely injures good morals, expresses insults, or excites hatred or contempt against religion or the Church is to be punished with a just penalty.

Salvation is not in error since you can most likely come back
