Yeah I knew you would start with that one, you just make it to easy.

Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus: There are two ways of translating "Extra." Many people translate it "Without" This would mean that anyone who has never heard of Jesus is going to Hell, or anyone that is not Catholic is going to Hell.

That Translation is incorrect, the correct one is found in the text you quoted "Outside" This refers to those people that have intentionally separated themselves from the Catholic Church, or intentionally refuse admission to her graces.

In other words the willfully ignorant will be seated in the smoking section.

BTW clarification is not "Changing a position".

Nice try though, thanks for playing,now lets see if our sponsors have some lovely parting gifts for you.
