I've tried to get an FR Catholic to state ANYTHING concfrete about the matter, but none have chosen to do so.
Will NOT believing that the wafer and wine ACTUALLY turn into blood and flesh keep a person fromHeaven?
Yes or no is sufficient.

It does not appear that there is a concrete answer that can be given. I haven’t found anything in the Catechism that specifically addresses this question. The closest thing I found was the following, which seems to indicate that the answer is no:
819 Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements. Christs Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him, and are in themselves calls to Catholic unity.
Here’s a link to the Catechism if you want to search for yourself -

Not my job. I’m a retired (and recovering) lawyer and I was so glad not to be a judge. It was never my job to make that decision. So are you saved? I have no idea. I certainly hope and pray that you are.
