Where does the Catholic religion state that only Catholics will go to heaven?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo where, because it is not true. The Catholic Church teaches that there is no salvation outside the Church: this does NOT mean that only Catholics go to heaven. It means that anyone that makes it to heaven makes it through the mediation of the Catholic Church. The reason for this is very simple, the Catholic Church is the mystical Body of Christ (read St. Paul). There is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ, so it follows that any salvation must come through Him, and His Church which He set up as the ordinary means of salvation.
