Heck, the Catholic church has been sending people to hell and claims it has the power to do so for centuries.

Why should it bother Catholics that someone else express the same opinion to them?

Do as I say, not as I do, eh?

the Catholic church condemns none to hell and as a Catholic you should know that.

Who was the last person that the RCC sent to hell? I'm unfamiliar with a case where the Church ever proclaimed someone was going to hell. There were atrocities committed during the Catholic-Protestant wars in Europe by both sides, but I don't recall the RCC ever decreeing that it was casting someone into hell. Excommunication isn't casting someone into hell. My knowledge of RCC teaching is that God makes that decision. Yes the RCC states that being in a state of sin at death is counter to the teachings of Christ concerning redemption, but they make no proclamation on that decision.
