Matthew 7:21

"Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Yes, indeed!

DO keep that statement in mind when you profess salvation is ONLY through the Catholic church.

When you read the Bible you will see the fallacy of believing the Catholic church is the way to salvation through works.

Eph. 2:8-9

8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Why is it no one wants to address what St. Paul said? What's with all the fear and trembling and "WORKING it out" if salvation is "in the bag" if you just believe? Responding with a different doesn't address the verse in question. Do you know the difference between what you "do" and what you "say"? "Doing" something is a work. Those who "do" the will of God will enter heaven. Are you calling Jesus a liar?
