Can a Protestant be saved without entering the Catholic Church?

We began by stating yes, a Protestant can be saved without entering the Catholic Church. Now let’s summarize how that would happen. Christ has linked salvation to faith and baptism, both of which are present in Protestant communities.

Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

It is a teaching of the Catholic Church that outside the Church there is no salvation. But this does not mean one needs to be a card-carrying member of the Catholic Church in order to enter heaven.

Are Protestant baptisms valid in the church?

We recognize Protestant baptisms as valid, which means salvific grace is operative within Protestant communions. The Church knows that she is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter.

Is the Catholic Church necessary?

He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and baptism and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.
