This is what in Orthodox seminaries we call "Catholic doublespeak". Think of it like a secret dialect, where what you say that sounds nice actually means something really quite the reverse.
I'm not using this to be mean to you Catholic_Lady but take the signature there for a minute. . "And this commandment for everyone to do good, I think, is a beautiful path towards peace"...Sounds beautiful right? Might come right out of a self help book you might see being flogged on Oprah sometime.
Doing good? That doesn't mean feeding homeless people, that means converting to Catholicism. The only way you can be good and know you are good is to be a practicing Catholic. That's the theology and the teaching, if you're not that you're not good.
"Do good. We will meet one another there!"....Only if you convert!
(Yes I know there is a thing called "invincible ignorance" before anyone points it out to me, but that isn't a dogma, it's just a hope. There's still no salvation outside the Catholic Church according to Pope Boniface VIII)
