Converts Profeess There Is No Salvation Outside The Church

For those who somehow can not see that the Church has always taught there is no
salvation outside of her, I would like to present what a convert will profess before he can
be received into Holy Mother the Church:

" I --------------- , having before me the holy Gospels, which I touch with my hand, and
knowing that no one can be saved without that faith which the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic
Roman Church holds, believes, and teaches, against which I grieve that I have greatly
erred, inasmuch as I have held and believed doctrines opposed to her teaching-

" I now, with sorrow and contrition for my past errors, profess that I believe the Holy,
Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church to be the only true Church established on earth by
Jesus Christ, to which I submit myself with my whole soul. I believe all the articles of faith
that she proposes to my believe, and I reject and condemn all that she rejects and
condemns, and I am ready to observe all that she commands me. And I make the
following profession of faith:

( There follows the profession.)

" And, I believe in everything else that has been defined and declared by the sacred
Canons and by the General Councils, and particularly by the holy Council of Trent , and
delivered, and defined, and declared by the General Council of the Vatican, especially
concerning the Primacy of the roman Pontiff, and his infallible teaching authority.

" With a sincere heart, therefore, and with unfeigned faith, I detest and abjure every
error, heresy, and sect opposed to the said Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Roman Church.
So help me God, and these His Holy Gospels, which I touch with my hand."

This is taken from " The Priest's Ritual" complied by Rev. Paul Griffith, p 47 John Murphy
company, Publishers, Baltimore, 1914.

So we now see that a new convert must profess there is no salvation outside the Church
and there is only one true Church. He must believe everything that Trent and Vatican
Council I has defined and declared for our believe. There is no question that the Church
has always and will always teach, " No Salvation Outside the Church", infallibly defined
and given to us By the Lord Himself. If your Catholic you are bound by this teaching and
you should help all those who are still in darkness to come home where, and only where,
they can find salvation. Please, pray for all those who have not yet come home!
