"Is salvation only possible through the Catholic Church? If you say "no," then you run up against Catholic teaching through the millenia. If you say "yes," then you contradict current teaching."

FWD, You seem to lack some of the basic axioms of Catholic thought --- for instance, that while the Sacraments are binding on us, they are not binding on God.

E.g., one must be born again of water and the Holy Spirit (Baptism)in order to be saved; but God can save anyone He wants to save, e.g. the unbaptized criminal crucified next to Him.

I am not at all misinformed.

an I don’t disagree with anything you stated, here

You meant to say this to someone else?

I’ve had enough arguing today, I certainly don’t need to get dragged into something in which I am mischaracterized.
