There is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church. Given that the
Chair of Saint Peter has been vacant since 1962, there probably isn't
any*salvation*in*it*either.
The Roman church can get legalistic at times.
Contrast the above with the "pre" denominational
ancient church:
*** A common explanation is that we know where the Church
*** is, but not where it is not.As to those people who
*** are good and kind but are not believers, we cannot
*** and must not judge them. The ways of the Lord are
*** inscrutable; let us leave these good people entirely
*** to His judgment and to the grace of His Providence.
*** He alone knows how and why He has built the argosy
*** of humanity, and the small boat of each one of us,
*** such as it is.
******* -St. Macarius of Optina
