I must admit that I was deeply saddened to read what you wrote here. Despite the fact and because you appeared to be an ardent Roman Catholic, I have always thought you held to the historic evangelical Creeds, e.g., the Nicene, Athanasian and Chalcedon. Evidently, you too have fallen into modernism and either ignore these foundational statements of the Christian religion or deny their verity and secondary authority. You might as well include Muslims as those who can be saved for they like the Mormons deny the doctrine of the Trinity.

There IS a "faith once delivered unto the saints", that "faith" being a body of truths, doctrines which come from God himself. Without truth there is no salvation. As to how much truth one needs to have in order to be considered a Christian is a much debated question. Obviously the answer will vary considerably depending upon who you talk to. The most lackadaisical will of course generally make the requirements minimal and the Pharisaical will make the requirements extraordinarily narrow and harsh. And in case you couldn't guess, I believe the Reformers and Puritans took the biblically 'narrow road' that leads to eternal life and set forth those doctrines which were and are commonly believed by all who have a true living faith. Issues as to whether you should immerse, sprinkle or pour in baptism are minor although some on both sides make them to be monumental, fellowship-breaking doctrines, much to their shame. But to deny the very doctrine of God's nature can hardly be considered a minor issue.

Again, I am deeply shocked that you would even hesitantly consider a Mormon as being beloved of God and destined for glory. And IF this is what the modern RCC is OFFICIALLY teaching, then this just goes to show how far afield the Roman State Church has gone over the past 50 years. So you see, it isn't just Protestantism that has cast off its roots, which it has for the most part and gone far astray in doctrine and life.
