Washington, Computer Sci Lines: 12 Hold on, Tim. I don't know what Catholicism you were raised in, but it most assuredly does not sound like the one I was raised in and practice now. The church does not hold that it is necessary to be a Catholic to be saved. In fact, there was a priest unfrocked 26 years ago for making precisely that claim, and refusing to recant. Protestants are most assuredly saved as well. The Church does take the attitude that Catholics have a fuller faith than Protestants, but then I tend to get worried about any denomination that doesn't believe that about themselves. -Joe P.
