Wrong. Badly wrong. If you are going to tell people what the Church teaches, you might want to actually have knowledge of those teachings.

A confused and convoluted statement. Are you claiming everyone is saved? Just very odd.

OK, so then people don't have to be in communion with, or agree with the Catholic church to be saved?

Then any Catholic can have assurance of their salvation?

Salvation isn't forced on anyone but is available to all.

John 1:12-13 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
