Non-Catholic Religions
We believe that Vatican II was a heretical council which taught propositions that were previously condemned by the Catholic Church, including the supposedly “infallible” statement in Vatican II that propose that non-Catholic churches are a means of salvation (Unitatis Redintegratio #3).
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, teaches: "841. The Church's relationship with the Muslims. 'The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hld the faith fo Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day." (Lumen Gentium 16; see also Nostra Aetate 3)
"842. The Church's bond with non-Christian religions is in the first place the common orogin and end of hte human race: 'All nations form but one community. This is so because all sem from teh one stock which God creared to people the entire earth, and also because all share a common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend to all against the day when the elect are gathered together in the holy city. ..." (Nostra Aetate 1)
Unitatis Redingratio, paragraph 3: "Moreover, some and even very many of the significant elements and endowments which together go to build up and give life to the Church itself, can exist outside the visible boundaries of the Catholic Church: the written word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, and visible elements too. All of these, which come from Christ and lead back to Christ, belong by right to the one Church of Christ.
"The brethren divided from us also use many liturgical actions of the Christian religion. These most certainly can truly engender a life of grace in ways that vary according to the condition of each Church or Community. These liturgical actions must be regarded as capable of giving access to the community of salvation.
"It follows that the separated Churches (Cf. CONC. LATERANENSE IV (1215) Constitutio IV: Mansi 22, 990; CONC. LUGDUNENSE II (1274), Professio fidei Michaelis Palaeologi: Mansi 24, 71 E; CONC. FLORENTINUM, Sess. VI (1439), Definitio Laetentur caeli: Mansi 31, 1026 E. ) and Communities as such, though we believe them to be deficient in some respects, have been by no means deprived of significance and importance in the mystery of salvation. For the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as means of salvation which derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Church."
