To: Salvation
It is in fact a doctrine of the Church often repeated by the Fathers of the Church and taught formally.

Fortunately, this false teaching is never in Scripture.

Salvation is in Christ alone.

exactly- the thief on the cross wasn’t a catholic and didn’t belong to the church, nor did the poor beggar who was with Christ when he died- nor were the roman soldiers that got saved when paul was prisoner- nor was cesar’s household- Salvation is through Christ alone- not through Christ + the church

This is NOT a false doctrine, especially as explained by Pope, Charles. The false doctrine is believing that any man-made organization is the Body of Christ, the Church. So lighten up, on the Catholic bashing. Jesus will do it so much better than you ever could, and His judgement will be perfectly applied.

Christ established ONE truth and established ONE Church to convey His teachings. Those who obstinately refuse to accept Catholic teachings cannot hope for salvation. Inquiring minds have converted to Catholicism in the millions from every faith and culture.

I’ll take the words of Jesus Christ:

“Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you” (Jn 6:53).

And where do you find that Holy Communion? In the Catholic Church!

Salvation is in Christ alone.

This is obvious to anyone who understands scripture.

"I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER BY THROUGH ME." I see no mention of church in Christ's word.

The RC church seems to believe that it and not Christ is the Savior.

It's a long time taught and believed doctrine of the Catholic church at that.

And it is wrong.

Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Salvation is in a person, that is Jesus, not a religion or religious organization.

Not by sacraments or works, or membership, or any other method.
