By Steven D. Greydanus, National Catholic Register - Catholics don’t believe that every religion is as good as every other, that all roads lead to God, and so whether one is a Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu or atheist makes no difference as long as we try to lead a good life. But we also don’t believe that only duly baptized members of the Catholic Church can be saved and everyone else is damned... Since the days of the Early Fathers, Catholics have believed both that a) there is no salvation apart from Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church and also that b) some people are saved outside the visible communion of the Catholic Church.
