do non Christians go to hell ? Iv gotten mixed answers from everywhere I look so what is the catholic consensus on this matter

 

[Rhamiel]

God is the judge

if someone is suffers from Invincible Ignorance, then they are not responsible for their lack of knowledge about Jesus Christ and His Church
so Jesus will judge them according to what they know

there is an old saying "we know where the Church is, not where it isn't"
i do not remember who said that right now
sorry

What about people who reject Christianity

 

[Rhamiel]

like I said, God is the judge

we can not know how God will judge them on what they know
maybe they never heard the true Gospel presented to them? maybe Christians have acted in such a way that poisoned their minds against the true faith?
or maybe they are guilty of rejecting the truth and God will condemn them to Hell?

He is the just Judge
we can pray for mercy
we can pray that God will open them up to the truth
but in the end, we allow Him to be the judge

There is no ASSURANCE of salvation outside of the catholic FAITH. however we do trust in God's Mercy. Salvation comes from christ alone whatever is his will... his will be done.

Is it possible christ can save whoever he wishes... of course

What about people who reject Christianity

actually what you should be asking is what about people who reject Christ. there is a vast difference between the two questions.

I want to say as a non-Catholic the answers you have given at this point are absolutely beautiful and loving. The longer I live the more I'm beginning to think the "protest" went to far.

So you are Sure, that no practising catholics, will go to Hell .

So you are Sure, that no practising catholics, will go to Hell .

Not quite sure how you came to that conclusion.

 

[IHOM]

There are millions of practicing catholics who are not in accord with the Catholic Faith. We all fall short... however we trust in the mercy of christ.

Who knows ?

God's gonna do what God's gonna do and He doesn't talk to me about it.

In the words of a very wise old priest when asked the same question: "It's not my job."

Short and sweet, but to the point.
