[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never heard that there was a separate room in heaven for Protestants or that Protestants were going to hell simply for being Protestant.

Any Catholic who believes that needs to buy a Catechism and read it. Any Protestant who believes that's the official Church position should do the same thing.[/quote]

The separate room is for catholics, not protestants.  It's because Catholics think they're the only ones there.

Official church position changes, so it can be hard keeping up with who is where in the afterlife  I've heard there's no limbo now.  What about purgatory?[/quote]

OK, if my MIL is wrong - and she knows her catholicism - where do I (prot.) go?  Limbo doesn't exist anymore.  I don't go to purgatory to work out my sins.  My Catholic friends have jokingly said I'm going to hell.  I have to have the last rites, the proper funeral mass where my soul leaves the coffin at the precise moment and be buried in a catholic cemetery, blah blah blah.  So where does a good prot. go?  MY MIL actually cried in front of me when I said I had become an Episcopalian.  I'm a lost soul.[/quote]

You are not a lost soul. MIL and your friends do not know Catholicism if they say you are predestined to hell because you are protestant. [/quote]

Not predestined to hell, perhaps, but passing up the chance for heaven by having the choice to become Catholic and turning it down.[/quote]
