INDIVIDUAL PROTESTANTS DO GO TO HELL UNLESS THEY CONVERT INTO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Individual Protestants do go to Hell and cannot go to Heaven unless they convert into the Catholic Church is the teaching of the Church.

On Real Catholic TV Michael Vorris says “Individual Protestants (0.32).go to Hell and cannot go to Heaven this is not what we are saying. I do not know if I am going to Heaven or Hell. How do I know the destiny of anyone else. Protestantism is a heresy.'
 We know all individual Protestants are oriented to Hell (Cantate Domino, Council of Florence).Vatican Council II has the same teaching.

Therefore, all must be converted to Him, made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door.-Ad Gentes 7(emphasis added)

The Church teaches that all need Catholic Faith and the baptism of water- all Protestants.

So all Protestants on earth de facto need to enter the Church to avoid Hell.

The Church also teaches that there can be some non Catholics who can be saved in invincible ignorance. These cases are unknown to us on earth. It is only God who can decide who is in invincible ignorance. So this teaching is not an exception to the dogma or Ad Gentes 7.
All non Catholics, Protestants included need to convert into the Church to avoid Hell.
-Lionel Andrades
