If Catholicism is idoltry or paganisim, does this mean that since around 365 BCE when Catholicism was established as the main "Christian Religion" until the past several centuries when the protestant religions were formed that all Christians went to hell?

puzzelman and cherub1001 did you read the answers to that previous question that came from Christians. How can christians answer that question that way and this one like I'm stupid? They were the ones calling it paganisim and idolatry not me.

Since Catholicism is neither idoltry nor paganism no one went to hell if people only go to hell based on that alone. There is also not "one Protestant religion" but many different groups. Some which use more Dogma dervived from Catholicism than others.
Also if you needed to be protestant to go to heaven then God should have really considered those people in remote parts of the world who never heard of Christ nor had any means to.
Thankfully Catholicism believe those who live a life that is fair and just will go to heaven even if they are not part of the christian religion.

The Catholic church was in charge of the Western Roman Empire from 538 ad. - 1798 ad., they were the ones that helped Constantine wright the first Sunday law in 334 ad.. From about 150 ad. to about 300 ad. they were The up and coming political-religious group. Yes they are an idolatress-pagan religion.

Catholicism was invented in 365 AD not BC! MANY MANY never heard of th ePOOP or constantine and were later known as annabaptists,Protestantism came much later and was a break away from the Poop.

The dark ages are called that because paganism took over and Christianity was hidden. Salvation is by Gods grace, so no one lost their salvation due to catholicisms perversions.

Good question. But I don't think Catholics ( correct me if I'm wrong ) consider them selves idoloters.
