[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Fuori della Chiesa non si salverà" is Italian for "outside the church, you won't be saved."

I'm guessing that pp is saying that switching to the Episcopal Church means going to hell --- if you take old italian sayings seriously, that is.[/quote]

Hard to see how hell would be the punishment for rejecting an organization that facilitated child sex abuse.[/quote]

This kind of saved/not-saved type of mentality is why I can't inflict this belief system on my kids.

Except it's not a Catholic belief.[/quote]

Salvation through belief that christ died for our sins (substitutionary atonement) is definitely a catholic belief.[/quote]

Nope.  Catholics do *not* believe in salvation through faith alone.  [/quote]

While you are correct that salvation for catholics does not come through faith alone, Salvation is in fact a central catholic principle.  For Catholics, gaining salvation is a different process than it is for  protestants. Catholics also have to follow all the catholic rules and (usually) spend some time in Purgatory.

But Catholics absolutely DO believe in Salvation thanks to Christ dying for our sins.
