No Salvation Outside the Church: Can a Good Protestant go to Heaven? 

I already did and will do

To be a true Catholic you need to reject Vatican II and her antipopes. Please see the material from Most Holy Family Monastery

Glad to pray for them both

YES

@Alfred S. - How lovely it is you have found your way to Tradition, in the midst of challenging parents who should have been directing you. Miracles are all around us. ☘

Everyone is in need. Everyone. For all have fallen short of the glory of God. Thanks be to God who delivers us through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Save us from the snatches and suffocation of the Roman Catholics/

*most in need of thy mercy, amen.

You don't know what you are saying.

Can always rely on you for faith and love of Christ.

I’d say find a good priest and explain your situation, he might allow you to do some studying on your own or one on one’s with him from time to time. I could be wrong but I know I’ve heard of some people being able to do something like that instead of RCIA

Keep watching good solid Catholic you tube videos from excellent priests. I’ve learned so much about the faith by watching you tube. Then when time permits go the the classes. Find a good Parrish near your work. I go to adoration at a church near my work. Learn about sacramentals use them. God loves you and welcomes you with open arms. Come as you are!!

Start praying the rosary today and as @Beneath said find a priest that can do this for you by letting do your own study, my wife did this.

Contact your diocese, they should help with a religious director. There are a lot of good tools like Laudate that’ll help. I’ll be praying for you 🙏

Go to the closet Catholic Church in your home area and talk to the Priest there…Where there is a Will there is a way…also develop a relationship with Jesus…Pray to him…he knows your heart better than even you do…If you truly want this it will happen…Peace Be With You Brother…Go to a Catholic Church…ask and let them know what is in your heart you will find a sponsor and the work will begin🙏🌹✝️🛐

His mercy is without end, but He cannot deceive nor be deceived thus His laws must be obeyed. We bend to His will He doesn't bend to ours.

1 Peter 5:8. God forgives but He can never forget. If we make it to heaven our sins will always be remembered which is why the Psalms say, 'His mercy is everlasting.' To refuse His sacramental grace is clinging to personal sin as an idol. Protestantism is the 'eye of the owl that cannot look at the light of the sun'.

@@Otingocni89we’re not Palagians lol. Plus if you a non Catholic why are you on this page? It goes to show how much the Church lives rent free in your head.

It does sound so Pharisaical doesn’t it? Reminds me of the “Oral/Fence Laws” the religious leaders implemented, creating a heavy yoke on the Israelites whether they were in ‘good faith’ or not.

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Amen!

@@mZaoabut your Catholic priest just said there is no guarantee of salvation. So who is lying? The priest or you?

@@JC-li8kk what I said was what the Church has always taught. The Church's teaching is Christ's teaching. Therefore, what I said was true. If this priest, or any other, says anything to the contrary, then they are indeed wrong. Does that answer your question? Viva Cristo Rey Ave Maria

@@mZaoa yes, I agree that those who are in Christ are the church & outside of Christ there is no salvation.

it goes against His nature to ever build anything on a lie. What you reap so shall you reap. When He judges every soul, one's personal opinion will count for nothing.

@@trishkearney God's nature is infinitely merciful. if someone is a protestant and do not intellectually believe in catholicism through no fault of their own, we hope they can be saved through the Church. we don't know, we hope.

Jesus Christ has founded Catholic church 2000 years ago. Luther, Henry VIII, etc. have had the demonic proud 1500 years after to want to reform the Church founded by the Son of God. It is evident and clear like the sun that Protestants are totally wrongs. If they do not understand it and continue to be Protestant, even God cannot save him.

Jesus saves.

@@francismarion6400 Jesus Christ does lead us to salvation, catholics agree. anyone who says otherwise is a heretic.

It was a recent sermon. We are blessed to have this priest at our parish.

Yes… This was a recent homily. He is at our FSSP parish, and we love him. Decided to not use his name, as to not get him into any trouble.

Hi May i know the name of the priest.

What is his name?

What is his name? What is the name of your church and what city and state is it in?

James 2:24. Sit. Your god lies when he calls his people "holy" when they are in reality evil. That's a two-faced false god.

And this is exactly what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise (usually Protestants)

Are you just using that verse to make you confident even if you're a protestant and denying the Catholic church teachings of the full truth????... That verse is only one of the Main point on how to be saved. And the WORKS st. Paul is referring to is the Works of the LAW the mosaic laws from the O.T

⁠@@clivejames5058so who is this guy in the video speaking? He’s not part of the RCC? Because he just said salvation is not guaranteed to any Catholics.

Amen 🙏🌹✝️🛐

Tell them to see the movie "Nefarious" and let it speak to their souls. Stop preaching pray suffer sacrifice and TRUST Jesus have Masses said for them and never under estimate the power of following the Will of God and offering it up to Jesus for grace and Mercy for those we love. Read the Diary of St. Faustyna and you will learn a great deal.

Amen

Dear Prodiga, I'm the only one who practices the Faith in my family. That's our Cross, we have to love this Cross crafted personally by our Lord Jesus. Our prayers to Mary. She will give us graces to speak the Truth.

Pray their ears can hear.

"Faith without work is dead"

Saved is past tense. Washing of regeneration is referring to baptism. Just because your soul was infused with sanctifying grace and you had all your sins, both original and actual, forgiven during baptism, doesn't mean you can't fall back into grave sin and lose that state of grace and destroy the friendship and status to which God raised you.

@@mking7690 You misunderstand the verse. We are saved by Fatih which human eyes cannot see. The works is Christ working through us that others can see our Faith. James was teaching the difference between a head knowledge of Christ compared to a true heart felt faith in Christ. Sort of like water baptism. Water baptism does not save us it is just an outward expression of receiving the Holy Spirit through faith.

@@sammygomes7381 You're right about the water baptism being just an outwardly expression of faith - an act of obedience n submission to God. Only thing you probably got mixed up is water Baptism and holy spirit Baptism cause they're two different things. Good comment 👍

@@lukebrasting5108Amen

Corrupt teaching....God tells us we we are guaranteed a place in heaven when we believe. Read a Bible. I know most Catholics don't have one of their own to read.

@@beckyspitzack4265 Where does it say faith alone saves you????

In the past, and that was a shame. I am a Baptist and some say product of the protest, but I am so thrilled that today many many Catholic and Orthodox friends have their own Bibles and are reading them for themselves!

No it is not insightful teaching..it is heresy

Read the prophecy in Malachi 1:10-11 about how gentiles all over the world, from east to west, would worship the God of Israel during the Messianic age. What is the incense and pure sacrifice that they offer? The early Christians knew what that prophecy is referring to. Do you?

All I heard was “you have no guarantees of salvation being a Catholic.” Thanks, but no thanks…

Well, that just one thing on a list of many heresies that they cling to

@@michaelmcguirk396 can you name more? I'm a recent convert protestant to catholic and I only recently realized the heresy I was acting out

@@zacharycarrier2890 I’m Orthodox and I can tell you one of the worst and foulest of heresies that most Protestants seem to be united on is the way they speak about the Lord’s mother, the most holy Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary. Nearly all Protestants do this, except maybe some Lutherans. I have heard some of the most downright awful, nasty, degrading rhetoric from them essentially slandering and even mocking our Blessed Mother. Some of the really ugly things I’ve especially heard from these evangelical types could rival damn near any atheist or satanist. Many Protestants strangely reserve a deep hatred of our most beloved Panagia.

@Zachary Carrier faith alone. Bible alone. Once saved always saved, is straight from hell. Denial of the Eucharist. Jesus in Luke translated into Aramaic says.. THIS IS ME. So if you deny Him in the Eucharist, you deny Him

@@zacharycarrier2890 I am wondering what you had to study to join the Catholic Faith. Most RCIA programs succeed in making converts who are " more ready for Hell than before" they went through the program.

@Dr Jan Christ is found in God's Word as well. I'm not a Catholic but I've put my faith and trust in Jesus alone as my Lord and Savior. I go to church to continue to grow spiritually.

@Dr Jan I don't. in the early church, those that followed Christ were called Christians and following Christ was called the "Way". there is no particular church name mentioned in God's Word. the church I attend preaches and teaches God's Word. it is where God would have me serve Him. it is for His honor and glory alone, not any particular church or denomination.

⁠@@1amCrucifiedWithChristYo, so Christians, who are part of the body of Christ, don’t want all men to be saved?

Yes, man through satan complicates things.

He did but virtually no Christian’s understand it to this day

John 6:53, the infidel insists on interrogating God; and then hardening his heart - verse 61. Our Lord notes, "Doth this scandalize you?" (John 6:62). 1 Peter 1:20 denounces private interpretation of scripture and 2 Peter 3:16 warns that the unlearned wrest scripture to their own perdition.

Read your own Catholic Magnificat. In the part drawn directly from Scripture, she refers to "... God my Savior." What did she need a Savior for if she was not a sinner?

@Jacques LeFave of course she needed a Savior! She was created and preserved from sin by her Son/Savior. To me that is one of the worst arguments for Mary not being Immaculate. Martin Luther ( psycho) Zwengli, Wesley others all believed this. Anglicans also. Your modern version of Protestantism is soo diluted. Not only from the 2000 year old Church. But even from the first Reformers Protestants are do it yourself religion. That's why there are 40k of you who can't agree on anything except your hate for the One True Church.

Our Lord founded a real brick and mortar Church with men in charge. Jesus spoke to the 7 Churches, as noted in Rev 1, those were real places, some were even former pagan temples.

Which then leads to Salvation. This isn't complicated, Protestants just like to make it that way.

@@littleone1656 salvation comes first when the Holy Spirit lives in us. Ephesians 1:13-14. And because of the Holy Spirit living in us we do true good works. But those good works never save us. They may show we are saved, but they have nothing to do with our salvation. Protestants have it Biblically. Roman Catholics are not following scripture, they are following the Council of Trent and other man made traditions.

@shawnmason8543 incorrect. The fact that there are ppl who claim to accept the holy spirit but still do bad works and love a sinful lifestyle, clearly indicates that works can actually save us and are taken into consideration for our Salvation. Catholics have been teaching what the early Christians believed before the Bible ever existed.

@@littleone1656 if someone claims to be saved but “loves sinful lifestyle” as you say, that person isn’t saved. Now a person can be saved and struggle to overcome that sinful lifestyle but they won’t love it.

Why do you think you need to become Catholic? Read God's Word and follow Chrst. Catholic is not in the Bible.

or one could read the word of God and pray to God as Christ taught us.

Dear Brother, Please understand first and foremost what a church is or atleast try to do it..Moreover the Bible says there is no salvation outside Jesus and not outside your so-called church.Please try to get saved by Jesus rather than relying on your non-biblical rituals and self-righteousness.

guess I should add this that Mary really can't accomplish much from the grave, follow Christ as He died so you could go straight to the father with your prayers.

Father Feeney taught that water Baptism was essential for salvation and denied the doctrines of Baptism of Desire and Baptism of Blood. Specifically, Fr. Feeney said that a soul could be "justified" through Baptism of Desire, and have his Original Sin be cleaned (thus be in a state of grace), but enter into the Beatific Vision. That was a specific heresy that he taught.

Feeneyism so called was " condemned via an unsigned decree. You might want to do some deeper digging. Try and find a copy of Gary Potter's After the Boston Heresy Case. You'll see from the info presented Father Feeney was not excommunicated for Heresy he was punished for disobedience in not reporting to a tribunal. THe Modernist were well established under Pius XII and the Fr Feeney affair shows their power.

Being a schismatic is a matter of perspective. The Eastern Orthodox among others say the same about Roman Catholics.

Catholic Church is the only church that dares to blaspheme God by taking down one of His Commandments and cleverly manipulates its congregation.

@@lukebrasting5108They don’t though. They believe He is a good man, even a prophet. But they do not believe He is the only begotten Son of God. Jesus made is very clear who He was, and is, and is yet to come. It is by grace alone, through faith alone, by which we are saved.

@@thans111 So you admit that belief in Jesus isn't enough then? You can't just have any kind of belief in Him but you need RIGHT BELIEF? That's my point. You need true supernatural saving faith, and Protestants don't have that. They believe in a false Christ, not the historical Christ of the Bible and the early Church. And you just proved it by spewing heresy like faith alone saves, when Jesus clearly says that baptism is the means by which He pours out His saving and regenerating grace: "Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." - John 3:5 You reject Christ's teaching on baptism and believe it's just a symbol and that all you need is belief, a mere mental assent, but that's not what the Bible tecahes or what the first Christians believed and taught. "Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you.." - 1 Peter 3:21 "And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." - Acts 2:38

@@lukebrasting5108 really you don't think by the word believe that faith is involved?

@@lukebrasting5108 My friend if you read the entire context you would understand being born of water is natural birth, Jn 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Baptism of the spirit has nothing to do with water. Ephesians 1: 13 In Him you also, after hearing the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and after believing in Him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

I don’t think that there’s anything in this homily that would make anybody smugly comfortable. If anything, it should make most people uncomfortable. He doesn’t guarantee anybody salvation just by pure membership in the church.

God’s justice is perfect In recognizing that the biblical idea of hell isn’t eternal conscious torment, we need to be cautious we don’t fall into the other ditch of thinking there is no ultimate punishment for the wicked. Because God is love, does any kind of punishment at all contradict His character? Absolutely not. Unrepentant sinners will be punished-but fairly and impartially. And not in the kind of eternal hell in which most people believe. The Bible foretells God’s judgment on the wicked. As punishment, the hardened, unrepentant sinner will be thrown into a lake of fire and will be burned up-no eternal torture, just a merciful, quick death penalty. This is the real hellfire. The unrepentant wicked will not burn forever in this fire. Instead, they will be totally and completely burned up-destroyed and reduced to ashes by the flames of the lake of fire. Have you ever read this Bible passage? “‘For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘that will leave them neither root nor branch . . . You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,’ says the Lord of hosts” (Malachi 4:1-3). God’s Word is clear: Those who ultimately choose not to repent of their wickedness and sin will be punished by fire-but not the mythical hell of men’s imagination. It’s not an ever-burning hellfire. It’s not eternal, conscious isolation from God. It’s not unending emotional, mental or physical torment. It’s not everlasting shame, regret or pain. It is final capital punishment that brings the end of life-in fact, the end of existence, utter annihilation, with conscious awareness never to return. The truth about hell displays God’s mercy God respects human choice. Because of His loving character and intent that we be like Him, He doesn’t force belief on anyone. Instead He wants us to willingly choose His way. The desperately wicked will be punished not because God refuses to forgive them. It will be a conscious choice on their part to refuse God’s mercy and not repent. Since the wicked will not choose His way, they will be consumed by fire and be no more. They won’t be tortured for all eternity. In fact, God loves them so much He wants their suffering to end. There is no contradiction. God is a God of mercy and love. He mercifully puts those who reject Him, the Source of all life and all goodness, out of their misery. God is the God of great wisdom, mercy and righteous judgment. When it comes to the topic of eternal punishment and hell, that is the most important thing to remember: God is a God of mercy and love. Hell is a controversial and often misunderstood subject. What’s the truth? Your Bible clearly states that the wicked will be consumed-destroyed by fire. They will no longer exist. They won’t suffer in eternal conscious torment. When God’s plan for humanity is complete, there will be no more crying, no more tears, no more sorrow, no more pain (Revelation 21:4). The final death of the hopelessly wicked in a lake of fire is a loving act of God’s justice and mercy. We can all be thankful for His fairness and great plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. He’s planned a wonderful future for those who love Him and accept His mercy. I hope you’ll choose to learn more about it! Four Different Words Translated “Hell” in English Bibles None of the words translated “hell” in English Bibles refers to a conscious afterlife of endless torment. In fact, Scripture states that there is no conscious awareness in death, but that we must be raised to conscious existence in a future resurrection (see Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10; Daniel 12:2; 1 Corinthians 15:6; 1 Corinthians 15:18; 1 Corinthians 15:20; 1 Corinthians 15:51; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14). So what do these words translated “hell” mean? First is the Old Testament Hebrew sheol, which is equivalent to the New Testament Greek term hades. Both these words are used in Scripture in reference to the grave-to burial in the earth. Next is the Greek term tartaroo, which occurs in only one verse (2 Peter 2:4). It refers here to the present condition of demons, rebellious angels, being restrained or imprisoned on the earth. Last is the word gehenna, the New Testament Greek form of the Hebrew Gai Hinnom, the Valley of Hinnom than ran along the west and south sides of Jerusalem. During biblical times of terrible apostasy people were burned here in pagan sacrifice-and it became a place to burn garbage. This term was used by Jesus in reference to future judgment in the lake of fire that will ultimately burn up the wicked. There is no sense here of a fire burning and torturing forever.

@@richrosati7146 going to heaven is guaranteed....read and believe John 3:16

Becky, if you mean to suggest that everyone goes to heaven it’s simply not true. There is plenty in the New Testament that suggests otherwise. Jesus says in one Gospel passage that at the final judgment the sheep and the goats will be separated , the sheep enter into the Kingdom and the goats to eternal fire…Matthew 25:44 is just one of many examples. Jesus spoke of hell more than he spoke of heaven. It’s why the Church is very serious about reconciliation and penance.

i hope you go to purgatory man the alternative is way worse

No salvation outside the Catholic church

@@johnyang1420 My friend the Catholic church did not die for anyone's sins.

@@sammygomes7381 Christ instituted the Church for the salvation of all souls, had the Sacraments in place before He died, celebrated the first Mass on Holy Thursday. His sacrifice on the cross was the high point of. Resting the Church and the Holy Ghost send the apostles on their way on Pentecost to baptize all nations. to form the true One World Religion. .

Where is that in scripture?

Did you not listen to what he said? He said Catholics have no guarantee of salvation. God swore an oath. God made a promise. God cannot lie. Do you believe God or do you believe this priest?

As a thought experiment for Catholics who think those outside the church can't make it to heaven, I want you to consider this short biography of St. Seraphim, an Orthodox saint who was never in the Catholic church: One day, while chopping wood, Seraphim was attacked by a gang of thieves who beat him mercilessly with the handle of his own axe. He never resisted, and was left for dead. The robbers never found the money they sought, only an icon of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) in his hut. Seraphim had a hunched back for the rest of his life. However, at the thieves' trial he pleaded to the judge for mercy on their behalf. He spent five months in the monastery, recovering from his injuries and then returned to the wilderness.[1] After this incident Seraphim spent 1,000 successive nights on a rock in continuous prayer with his arms raised to the sky, a feat of asceticism deemed miraculous by the Eastern Orthodox Church, especially considering the pain from his injuries. Do you believe this man is going to hell?

And Christians believe people in the Orthodox church can go to heaven if they are born again and follow the teachings of Christ.

@@sammygomes7381 Do you know that Orthodox Church is the original Christian Church and hasn't changed much since the days of Christ?

@@deerlow1851 Really? So I would be correct to say that like Christ and the apostles you don't say mass, don't pray to Mary or saints, no rosary, we receive Christ by faith, not by eating Him, only God forgives sin, Mary did not remain a virgin?

Go to a traditional latin mass. We have a bad pope.

We pray for them every day. I don't believe it's a sin of any kind. But you can always ask your priest/pastor.

Mate it all comes down to your personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

@@CH3353N1NJ45”personal relationship” never in bible

The word "personal relationship " doesn't have to be in the bible rather the concept of needing have a personal relationship needs be taught in Scripture which it is...for instance enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’...Here you have people that may have done a bunch of stuff and yet Jesus said He never knew them (obviously that means you need personal relationship). You don't require the word Trinity to be in the Scripture so why do you require the word "personal relationship " be in the Scripture? It's because you have a double standard towards your Protestant friends...Also Protestant Christian believe in the Trinity even though the word itself is not in the Bible again because the concept/doctrine is clearly taught in Scripture...I say that in case you try to say Protestant require that the exact word be in Scripture Sola Scriptura doesn't require that.

It is a sin but if you didn't know it's venial.

“Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven”

Jesus started Catholic church to provide an exclusive path to salvation. Why reject it?

Do you believe Jesus meant one faith? Or 30,000+ faiths are ok? There’s only one true faith.

@@maggie_codesfaith in Jesus is 1 faith. Who is your faith in? Jesus? Or the Catholic Church?
