There is no single eternal destination for any group of people. Salvation is on an individual basis. Not all members of the true Church will receive it, and many who are not members of the true Church may still be saved. In any case, Catholics don't make decisions about who will or will not be saved. That decision belongs to God alone.

That depends on the person.

But the Catholic Church does NOT teach that all non-Catholics automatically go to hell for lack of being Catholic.

The Roman Catholic church suffers from the sin of Arrogance, so hence their attitude towards other Churches.

All go too heaven just as all other Christians,but most must go too purgatory first because of the errors of their priests when it comes too practicing the devotions such as the holy rosary as too receive the indulgences necessary too keep them out of purgatory.
Hears a blessing and a our father prayed just for you.Practice the holy rosary for world peace and for your own inner and spiritual renewal.

We love you all,and study the treasures in the Pieta prayer book for great will be your reward.

Only God can determine ones fate.

God wants all people to be saved that "come to the truth"

1Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

where does the bible tell us the truth is?

1Timothy 3:15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

From the Catechism:

"Outside the Church there is no salvation"


846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?335 Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body:

Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.
847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:

Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.
848 "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men."


Peace be with you
