I have no issues with Catholics and am open to being wrong here, but I just have question.
Why oh why oh why do some people think that ONLY their particular sect of Christianity will be saved? As far as I'm concerned EVERY person who believes that Christ died for their sins will be saved
I completely and totally agree with you in this statement. Every denomination has it's issues and every denomination has those people within it that aren't really Christians. But there isn't a denomination that I would condemn as a whole.
This is a quote from Pope Boniface VIII in 1302:
"We firmly believe and simply confess this (Church) outside which there is no salvation nor remission of sin." (Denzinger, The Sources of Catholic Dogma, 30th Edition, # 468, p. 186)
This is a quote from the Dictatus Papae of Pope Gregory VII
That the Roman church has never erred; nor will it err to all eternity, the Scripture bearing witness.
If the Roman Catholic Church says that it has never erred, and also said that all who are outside of the Roman Catholic Church are condemned to hell, then how can a Roman Catholic say that believers in the other denominations are good with God?
Like I said before, I agree with your statements and am just trying to figure out where the Catholic Church offically stands on this. Is this just something that the church says and the people don't really believe? Or do many Catholics still believe this?
