We don't need some fancifully dressed men telling us that we must belong to the organization in order to be saved.

Nice try, but out of context, as usual. It doesn't matter how may times you posted, it is completely wrongheaded in its use .Those pieces of text where Jesus is speaking to a specific situation, and you try to make it into a support for your Roman Catholic error and heresy. Claiming to be the one true church is what got people to begin listening to the Holy Spirit and come out of that deathtrap.

Rome teaches death. Jesus teaches life. Try echoing Him more fully and sincerely, instead of trying to make some foolish claim to something that only makes sense if there is no God reigning from heaven. I don't need your stinking putrid organization. I have God's Holy Spirit in my life teaching me and keeping me from the errors of Rome! You can keep the smells and bells and all the mystical ceremonies. There is no salvation anyplace other than in Jesus Christ. Believe it or not!

Matthew 18: 15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
