The Apostle Paul wrote:
"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" Ephesians 5:25
Paul was Not a Catholic, yet he knew that Christ loved him and died for him. Certainly, no one would dare say that Paul was Not a Christian because he was Not a Catholic.
Would anyone suggest that God only loves Catholics?...
or that Jesus only died for Catholics?
Such would be the case if the Catholic church was the "God's One and Only Church".
For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM should Not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
The church in the New Testament is simply the Body of the Saved and Jesus Christ is its Head.
Eph. 5:23
Eph. 3:5
Eph. 2:19-20
Eph. 5:22-24
Acts 2:47
"... for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ." 1 Corinthians 10:4
