Outside the Church, there is no salvation. This means that everyone who gets to heaven does so through the Catholic Church. However, if someone is innocently ignorant of Christ and His Church, it is possible that they can get to heaven if they strive to follow God and cooperate with whatever grace they have. This is possible because if they are innocently ignorant, they have not rejected the Church and it is possible that they are not really "outside" of it, even if they don't know it. However, if someone knowingly rejects the Catholic Church, they could not be saved.
