No salvation outside of the Catholic church.-Fundamentals of Catholic Faith, 309-13 & Handbook of Catholic Theology, 506
"Every one is obliged, under pain of eternal damnation, to become a member of the Catholic Church, to believe in her doctrine, and to submit to her authority."..."We profess to believe that Jesus Christ has established a visible Church, endless in her duration, and infallible in her doctrine, which we must believe and obey without reserve, if we would obtain eternal salvation; and that this is no other than the Roman Catholic Church." - From Deharbe’s Catechism.
Totality of the Catholic Church
"According to Catholic doctrine the fullness of Christ’s heritage is found only in this outward, visible Church, with its headquarters in Rome. The Church is the "totality of his revelation, totality of his sacraments, and totality of authority to rule the people of God in his name." - The Catholic Catechism, 213
