From Lumen Gentium: Those also can attain to salvation who through no fault of their own do not know the gospel of Christ or his Church, yet sincerely seek God and moved by grace strive by their deeds to do his will as it is known to them through the dictates of conscience. Nor does Divine Providence deny the helps necessary for salvation to those who, without blame on their part, have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God and with his grace strive to live a good life.

A close look at this Roman Catholic teaching shows the damnable heresy of Catholicism's gospel - that people can be good enough to be saved. "Dictates of (their) conscience" and "strive to live a good life" cannot be interpreted any other way than that faith in Jesus Christ ISN'T necessary for salvation as long as you are a "good person".

Yeah, seriously, and then they claim that it’s the Protestants who are Pelegian. Jeez.

Isn’t that about what Pope Frank said, who am I to judge?
