I believe you are just pecking at the surface here with this short list. Check out some of these links -- a lot more beliefs (dogmas, doctrines) than you would think.

That short list was given by another and I was simply commenting that of the seven given MUST be believed dogmas, only two could be Scripurally proven and even the way they were worded, could hardly be considered enough upon which to base "salvific" truths. I am well aware that there are many more "dogmas" developed over the centuries that have become MUST be believed truths. I kinda doubt most Catholics even know what they all are.

You are probably right when you say that many Catholics don't know what they are. Although they say the Creed each Sunday (if they aren't Christmas/Easter churchgoers.)

Many non-Catholic churches also have a creed similar to the Nicene Creed. Do you say a creed at your church?

New translation for new Roman Missal

I believe in one God
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth
of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only-begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
He came down from heaven.

(at the following words, up to and including “and became man”, all bow)
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.

For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets;
And in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

****only two could be Scripurally(sic) proven****

We obviously disagree on that.
