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.


Church doesn’t save , Jesus does.

Amen! Especially since "church" really means us. The "called out assembly" of all believers in Jesus Christ as savior are part of this body of Christ. We become members through accepting Christ as our Lord and Savior.

The Church is necessary for salvation, yet it by itself does not save. Repentence is necessary for salvation, yet if by itself does not save. Belief in the Lord is necessary for salvation, yet it by itself does not save.
