"Gem, you are *way* off base ...

Ah well, no harm done. There are plenty of enlightened one's here who can clear things up. You may want to duck after that last post btw. Maybe not.

Which is to say that you can be an angel on earth, and if you did not embrace Jesus as your savior, you are going down buddy!

Catholics do not believe this.

While Catholics believe in baptism to wash away original sin, we also believe that God saves who God saves.

"God has bound salvation to the sacrament of Baptism, but he himself is not bound by his sacraments."

Also, people who live good lives but have never heard of Jesus Christ, are also saved.

"All those who, without knowing of the Church but acting under the inspiration of grace, seek God sincerely and strive to fulfill his will, are saved even if they have not been baptized."
