I do not believe that Salvation can only come through the Catholic Church if that is what you mean. No one, certainly not me, knows the mind of God and I trust in His infinite mercy.
I do, however, believe that intentional mischaracterization of the teachings or history of the Church do not aid in anyone's path to Salvation. Sin hurts the sinner far more than it hurts the Church or God. That includes those who proclaim it is the Whore of Babylon and the spawn of hell as well as those who say there have never been errant and vile sinners who have claimed to be Catholic or wore the robes of the Catholic clergy.
My purpose for participating on these threads is to try to ensure that an honest discussion takes place with respect to the positions, doctrines, dogmas and history of the Church.

You said a few posts ago that you do not believe in Millenialism. I'm not going back to look it up, but I think you said nor does your Church. That you do not believe that Christ is literally going to return to this earth and reign for 1000 years. Please correct me if I've made a mistake as to what you or your Church believes. The reason I'm curious is what do you think the Millenial Kingdom is about? Is it just a spiritual kingdom, or is it a physical kingdom? ANd why would Christ want to return to this earth to set it up? In your opinion. Why not just have everything spiritually in heaven and nothing physically on this planet? (I'm asking you to put on your outside the RCC box thinking cap and think about what could be the reason for His second coming to this earth). Because, according to God's word, there IS a reason for Christ returning here. And His Millennial reign here. In fact, there are SEVERAL reasons for it. Literal return, and literal results.
