Fail! You can be outside the Church and still be saved. Catholics call it 'perfect contrition'.

A lot of individual Catholics think otherwise. My Catholic grandparents had a deep dislike of Protestants and were certain they were going to hell. They had a bitch fight with my Episcopal father because each of them wanted me baptized in their own moronic superstition.

In any case, Catholic chauvinism regarding entrance to heaven was official church doctrine until Vatican II in 1964, so either God changed his mind after almost two thousand years, or the Church has retreated, as religion always does, when the hard line no longer effectively scares stupid people into converting.
