1.In John 3:5 of the Bible, Jesus says all need the baptism of water for salvation and in 2.Mark 16:16 Jesus says those who do not believe will be condemned. He was speaking about believing in the Catholic Church which was the only Church He founded.The Early Christian Community was the Early Catholic Community in its doctrines.3.In the Book of Revelation of the Bible we learn there is fire in Hell.4.Matthew 7:13-14 tells us most people go to Hell. We need to enter through the narrow gate, which is the Church Jesus founded.We need to follow the teachings of the Catholic Church to avoid the fires of Hell.Most people go to Hell the Bible tells us.The road to Hell is wide and most people take it.
This is also the traditional teaching of the Catholic Church on Vatican Council II when it is interpreted rationally.1Ad Gentes 7 says all need faith and baptism for salvation.Most people die outside the Church without faith and baptism.So when I meet a non Catholic I know he or she is on the way to Hell since I can judge based upon the Bible and Vatican Council II(Feeneyite).
The norm for salvation is faith and baptism and we cannot say that any one in particular is an exception.LG 8, LG 16, UR 3, GS 22 etc are not the norm.
There are no known cases in 2019 of being saved in invincible ignorance(LG 16), elements of sanctification and truth(LG 8), saved with good and holy things in other religions(NA 2), seeds of the Word (AG 11) etc.If someone was saved outside the Church it would be known only to God.The teaching of the Bible and Vatican Council II is outside the Catholic Chruch there is no salvation. Outside the visible boundaries of the Catholic Church there is no known salvation.-Lionel Andrades
