This has been answered hundreds of times on here -- but I will do it again, just for the slow ones. Do you believe that God is All-Powerful? Do you believe that God is All-Knowing? Do you believe that God is All-Forgiving? Do you believe that God has Foresight of all things, regardless of time? Do you believe that God has the Power to Pre-Forgive someone of Natural Sin and to (possibly) Pre-Forgive any Sins that may/or may not be committed on Earth?
You do realize, of course, that not all things that the Catholic Church teaches are necessary to attain Heaven, right? You do understand that some things they are taking a very good "educated-guess* on, and **N-O-T** a Heaven-or-Hell choice, right?
Of course, you realize all these things, but that never stops you all from playing "Gotchya" with Catholicism. How incredibly simplistic -- and boring....
Well that was a poor ‘try’. You did not address the question other than with sophistry. Quite revealing that ...
BTW, you asserted, “This has been answered hundreds of times on here — but I will do it again, just for the slow ones.” And since you are not familiar with the question, the answer, or the implications, you fail, and the question to my knowledge has not been answered yet by any Catholic. Your priest won’t even acknowledge he has been asked!
"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."
--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)
