  • HOW.
    IS.
    IT.
    RELEVANT?

    Do you sincerely not get the difference between a thing being, and being applicable/RELEVANT to another thing?

    I'll grant you, for the sake of discussion and further clarity, that it is absolutely and unarguably, coram Deo, God's struth.

    Now that we've that out of the way, ...


    SO
    WHAT?

    This is a Catholic forum. Sometimes it is useful to see what the Catholic Church itself has to say about a subject. It would be very difficult to find a better source of information than the Baltimore Catechism.

  • From the Baltimore Catechism;

    Q. 510. Is it ever possible for one to be saved who does not know the Catholic Church to be the true Church?
    A. It is possible for one to be saved who does not know the Catholic Church to be the true Church, provided that person:
    1.(1) Has been validly baptized;
    2.(2) Firmly believes the religion he professes and practices to be the true religion, and
    3.(3) Dies without the guilt of mortal sin on his soul.

    Q. 511. Why do we say it is only possible for a person to be saved who does not know the CatholicChurch to be the true Church?
    A. We say it is only possible for a person to be saved who does not know the Catholic Church to be the true Church, because the necessary conditions are not often found, especially that of dying in a state of grace without making use of the Sacrament of Penance.

  • The tradition of the Catholic Church says that, barring a revelation from God, we do not know for sure where they or anybody else for that matter goes when they die.  
    That is a modernist tool, a stepping stone to ecuмenism.

    The Sacred Congregation of the Propagation of the Faith, under Blessed Pius X, in 1907, in answer to a question as to whether Confucius could have been saved, wrote:
     
    “It is not allowed to affirm that Confucius was saved. Christians, when interrogated, must answer that those who die as infidels are damned”.

    You've "met" poche before, right?

    "But you can't judge the state of his soul! He coulda (insert some vague, internal forum "mysterium perfide" here)!"

    "We don't know that he died as an infidel! He could have been saved at death!"

    (Yeah, I know... the old "saved at death" schtick)

    If the person's heresy resulted from invincible ignorance then it is possible that he was saved.

    The Catholic Church teaches that if the person did not know that his heresy was a false teaching and his ignorance was invincible then when he died God's judgement would take that situation into account and he could very well be saved.

    I got my quotes form the Baltimore Catechism. It was written long before Vatican II. It is an authoritative text on what the Catholic Church teaches. Generations of Catholics have been brought up on the Baltimore Catechism. I would suggest that we would have a lot fewer problems if more people studied the Baltimore Catechism.

    Yes, the Catholic Church has spoken very clearly on the subject, thank you, by way of solemn dogmatic definition (Papal Bull Cantate Domino):

    Quote
     The most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes, and preaches that ... [no] heretics ... can have a share in life eternal; but that they will go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless before death they are joined with Her;

    Dogma.  Ex Cathedra.
