I agree with much of what you wrote. As Calvin said, the truth of Christ has not been so completely extinguished in Rome that there are not true Christians within it.

But it seems likely that those RCs who are His have been saved not because of Rome, but in spite of Rome. How could God be pleased to hear people are believing their priest to be "another Christ" and referring to Mary as a "co-Redeemer" and thinking that God's word is merely an imperfect aid to understanding tradition and not the infallible instrument of God's grace?

Semper Reformanda.
