That's because there is only one Church. All Christians are Catholic, whether they accept that fact or not. Those Christians who are members of schismatic sects (denominations, whatever) are still part of the Body of Christ; they are, sadly, its separated members. But we will all be one Body in the end. There will come a day when, to all appearances, the Enemy has won. The majority of Christians will be fooled by the Enemy's final power play and they will create a false religion that will turn this world into hell. The remnant of Christianity will gather behind the Bishop of Rome and, back to back, will face the foe together -- and for the last time. When the Battle at the End of the World comes, the Body of Christ will stand united under the Sign of the Cross -- and triumph. In hoc signo vincite!.

Frankly, I thought we'd all end up backing the Bishop of Dublin, but ...... Well, anyway.

But non-Catholic Christians cannot have eternal life, having not eaten the Body and drank the Blood of Jesus, correct?
