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.
