I’m sure there are saved people in the Catholic church just as there are saved people in every church.
And there are unsaved people in every church, including the Catholic church.
Because salvation is based on faith in Christ, not faith in church membership, baptism, works, or whatever else is added to faith in Christ.
If someone chooses to continue in the Catholic church while being saved, that’s their prerogative.
But for the RCC to state that salvation is found in it alone and that outside of the Catholic church there is no salvation is wrong. As is conflating the terms *Catholic* and *Christian*.
Not all Catholics are Christians and not all Christians are Catholic.
When those erroneous statements are made, people will speak out.
And the Catholic church has no authority over those who choose to not put themselves under it.
All Catholics are Christians....all who are fully Christian are catholic.
the Pope is the Vicar of Christ on Earth...
