Nadie,

I think that if someone runs into the truth, but stubbornly denies it....then He/She is putting His or Her soul into danger. This would be the case for Jєωs, heretics, etc.

I know you don't want to hear this, but Vatican II distinguishes between 2 different types of heretics. One type being the type which didn't know better, and the other type stubbornly denying. The first type may still have a chance for salvation in the case that they die without conversion to the faith. The other having no chance at all. I agree with this ideology.

Romans 8:29‐30‐ “For whom He foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable
to the image of his Son: that he might be the first‐born amongst many brethren.
And whom he predestinated, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

As Catholics, of course, we don’t believe as the heretic John Calvin, who held a
predestination according to which no matter what one does he is either predestined for
heaven or hell. That is a wicked heresy. Rather, as Catholics we believe in the true
understanding of predestination, which is expressed by St. Isaac Jogues and Romans 8
above. This true understanding of predestination simply means that God’s
foreknowledge from all eternity makes sure that those who are of good will and are
sincere will be brought to the Catholic faith and come to know what they must – and
that those who are not brought to the Catholic faith and don’t know what they must
were not among the elect.

We also know that the Holy Ghost specifically forbade the Apostles to preach the
Gospel in certain places, most probably because of the bad will that they would
encounter.

Acts 16:6‐ “And when they had passed through Phrygia, and the country of
Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.”
2 Corinthians 4:3‐4: “And if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost, In
whom the god of this world [Satan] hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that
the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should
not shine unto them.”

Pope St. Pius X, Acerbo Nimis (# 2), April 15, 1905:
“And so Our Predecessor, Benedict XIV, had just cause to write: ‘We declare that
a great number of those who are condemned to eternal punishment suffer that
everlasting calamity because of ignorance of those mysteries of faith which
must be known and believed in order to be numbered among the elect.’”330

therefore it should be clear to every 'Catholic
Outside the Catholic Church There is Absolutely No Salvation. PERIOD
 

God predestines the graces by which His elect become Catholic

Saint Augustine explained that the graces by which the predestined are eternally assumed into Christ comprise:

 - The preaching of the Gospel by which the elect are given the word to which they consent;

- The thought that the word of the Faith is to be believed;

- The will to accept the Faith by which they are brought to baptism into Christ;

- Perseverance in the Faith and in righteousness;

- Or in the case of the elect who die in infancy, at least the baptism by which they are eternally assumed into Christ.

 

It is all God’s doing by which the elect are infallibly saved in the Catholic Church.  This was indicated by the Apostle Peter upon the founding of the Church at Pentecost: “And the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved.” (Acts 2:47)  And the Lord says: “And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.” (Saint John 10:14)
