a lot of people are giving their opinions,
let us not trust in the wisdom of man, but in the teachings of the Church
from the second Vatican council
Basing itself upon Sacred Scripture and Tradition, it teaches that the Church, now sojourning on earth as an exile, is necessary for salvation. Christ, present to us in His Body, which is the Church, is the one Mediator and the unique way of salvation. In explicit terms He Himself affirmed the necessity of faith and baptism and thereby affirmed also the necessity of the Church, for through baptism as through a door men enter the Church. Whosoever, therefore, knowing that the Catholic Church was made necessary by Christ, would refuse to enter or to remain in it, could not be saved. (Lumen gentium, 14)
the Church is not a branch
the Church is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic
