This statement contradicts the belief that salvation comes from Christ through the church. The Catholic Church teaches that salvation is possible for those who seek God with a sincere heart and try to do His will, regardless of their religious affiliation. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that only Catholics go to heaven and all others go to hell.Rate this question:
