It's YOUR religion, don't you know? Here, this may help:

"Now, therefore, we declare, say, determine and pronounce that for every human creature it is necessary for salvation to be subject to the authority of the Roman pontiff" (Porro subesse Romano Pontifici omni humanae creaturae declaramus, dicimus, definimus, et pronuntiamus omnino esse de necessitate salutis). (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15126a.htm)

It sounds like an ex cathedra pronouncement. Has it ever been revoked?

From the article:

Even though the Council (Lumen Gentium, #14) and the Catechism (#846) reaffirm the dogma "Outside the Church there is no salvation", explaining it to mean that those who recognize the Catholic Church as embodying the true religion, yet refuse to enter or remain in her, cannot be saved?

The part above after 'explaining it to mean' seems to be a departure from earlier Catholic explanation of this issue. I agree with you, I don't care specifically what the Catholics say, but the current vicar attempts to destroy Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. As to the latter, real Catholics have a problem, as to the former all Christians do (even if to real Catholics we aren't Christians). The Savior knows His own, God is faithful.
