And if you're wrong theologically then you are guilty of heresy and schism and excommunicated from the Church and deprived of the grace of God that is obtained by the Church's prayers.

Good luck to you.

And if you're wrong theologically

So the Church was "wrong theologically" until the advent of Bergoglio? Too great a stretch.

"As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema." (Gal 1:9)

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel— not that there is another gospel, but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, If any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1: 6-9).

I’m quite confident of at least several things... that Our Lord meant it when he said that divorce and remarriage is adultery. That the Church has taught for two millennia that unrepentant adulterers cannot receive Holy Communion. That even the Pope cannot change that.

I will cast my lot with Christ and his clear teaching, as faithfully and authoritatively handed down by the successors to the apostles for the last 2,000 years, rather than in a non-infallible document that contradicts that teaching. You’re free to do otherwise, but I suggest you heed Galatians 1:6-9, above.

The correct answers to the Five Questions are: no, yes, yes, yes, yes.

When a HIERARCH (including the Pope) obstinately affirms the wrong answer to any of the questions, he lapses into heresy.

To refuse to answer the questions is to reveal complete intellectual dishonesty.

Any literate Catholic can be certain that where Bergoglio differs from all previous Popes, Bergoglio has lapsed into heresy.

It is preposterous to say that a lay Catholic who, in good conscience, reaches the wrong answers will be guilty of heresy, schism, and excommunication.

It is doubly preposterous to say that it is possible for a Catholic who adheres to the teaching of Christ (i.e., answers the Five Questions with no, yes, yes, yes, yes) could be guilty of heresy or schism, or incurs excommunication.
