St. Cyprian says: “He cannot have God for his father who has not the church for his mother.”..Saints and Popes dogmatize like this "there is no salvation outside Catholic church". the only exception: invincible ignorance( as if you really dont know but you live a pius life according to your conscience), and who ever can perform perfect contrition before he/she die will be save..this doesnt mean also that kinsa tong mga na belong ani maluwas na tanan, sayop pud na siya nga pagtuo..you are in the right church but you must work for it to gain the reward..sad truth is nobody cares now to be saved..faith without good works is useless..they become saints because they follow strictly the teaching of Christ without questioning without murmoring and it pleases God. then we must learn from them..from the Book of My Imitation of Christ "if you can root out one vice a year, soon you will be a perfect man". God bless
