I'm not mad at any post here. I'm just sick of seeing that every other thread is one about BOB/BOD, when really it's an argument that the devil is using to divide Catholics. It's really kind of ingenious really, when you think about it. But the devil is no dummy.
The Church teaches, and we know, from multiple anathema statements, that there is no salvation outside the Church. That's just reality. Whatever "what ifs" you want to insert into that "except this person because he's considered 'baptized,' (even without water baptism)" leave that to God, okay?
Can the Church pronounce someone in Hell? No, no exceptions to that. Just no. Can GOD do that? Yup, pretty sure that's HIS job. Leave the particular judgment to Him, because He's the one who deals specifically with that. Are you there at the particular judgment of the individual? No? Then what business do you have saying where God is going to send that soul? He will decide that, not you. And yes, there's no question this is a "what if" situation, and sure, there's going to be tons of argument on either side, but I'll tell you one thing. The Church always deals in absolutes in her pronouncements. There are no -what if's-. You can speculate all you want, but we already know the solemn teaching of the Chuch which is--
Extra Ecclessiam Nullus Salus.
And that's what we know for sure. Anything beyond that? See above.
