What I find puzzling is that many Catholics concede that Protestant Christians CAN be saved and are genuine Christians, while being without that core teaching of the absolute necessity of receiving the Eucharist for salvation.
I’d like a lurking Catholic to explain this. Are these ecumenical Catholics just being devious, or do they not believe Catholic doctrine?
You might want to do some research on exactly what Catholic doctrine is regarding those Christians who are not Catholic but have been justified by faith in Baptism. It may be different than what you think.
We have. If you’re not under the auspices of the Catholic Church in its physical form, yer toast. (...at least until you’ve gone thru the Purgatory-brand Spiritual Washing Machine for a few thousand years, at which point everybody gets cleaned up and into Heaven without any involvement of Christ or His church. Except really bad people, ‘cuz they’re evil, unlike the rest of us slightly-stained folk.)
Well, why don't YOU tell me. And then I can give you multiple official pronouncements by past popes to contradict your fantasies.
