Being a Catholic in the state of Grace is the only really assured means of achieving salvation, outside inextricable actions of the Trinity which are beyond our understanding.

Michael Voris: ask your priest, does he desire all souls to be Catholic?
In a brief phrase, yes or no? Several times, Popes and ecumenical councils have defined Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus: outside the Church there is no salvation. And while that is not an iron law – God can certainly save whom He Wills, and the Church does not know the contents of the souls in either Heaven or hell – I am of the belief that, objectively speaking, it is very difficult to see how souls outside the Church can be saved, without recourse to the Sacraments and all the torrents of Grace the Church offers. Certainly, there are mechanisms for that to occur, so to speak, but the ultimate goal of the Church should be that all souls are converted unto Her. Being a Catholic in the state of Grace is the only really assured means of achieving salvation, outside inextricable actions of the Trinity which are beyond our understanding.
But so few Catholics, even among our leadership, seem to believe that today. Michael Voris has another excellent video – he should go to Australia more often (even though these were recorded before………)
