I was not brought up in the Roman Catholic Church rather as a Catholic Christian. I'm a Confirmed Catholic.
It depends. Just because one is Catholic or Christian doesn't automatically give them a key to heaven. It all boils down to beliefs. I believe in God. I believe Jesus died for my sins. I've taken Jesus as my savior. I don't pray to Mary or to Saints. My prayers are to God/Jesus. Everyone else, while important aren't my God. I believe in heaven and hell. I always ask for forgiveness of my sins. I know I'm going to heaven.
A true Christian knows they shouldn't judge other Christians and still call themselves a true Christian. whoever said that to you should read. Matthew 7:1-6

Catholics are like all people. If Catholics are evil, they will go to hell just like any other evil person who rejects God and His love. But not all Catholics are evil. Some Catholics are very good and holy. So the good Catholics will not go to hell, just as the good people from other religions will not also go to hell if they do good and avoid evil. Only God can judge whether a person will go to hell or not. We don't want anyone to go to hell, so we have to teach people how to love everyone even their enemies. This is the commandment of Jesus. We have to love everyone even those who hate us. Hate is a luxury we all cannot afford. Love is the answer.

Did they say that they "should" go to hell, or ..."do" go to hell just like anyone else?
I'm assuming that because hell is a christian invention, then Catholics "could" go to hell if they did something that warranted going there. Although, because Christ forgives every man of his sins and reserves a place in heaven for each of us, then I would assume that hell is an empty place without any people.
Frankly, in christianity, it is believed that animals don't go to heaven. All I know is, If dogs don't go to heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they went.

I imagine that some Catholics will go to Hell, just as some non-Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, agnostics, and atheists will go to Hell.
God wishes EVERYONE to be with Him in Heaven. Where we end up after this life depends on how much we have loved in this life.

So Mother Teresa who gave her life to caring for India's destitute will go to hell? NUTS.
Oh, I am not a Catholic, but I do know many who are.

A catholic can be born again, but I'm convinced that once they begin to grow and understand the truth of the Word and allow the Holy Spirit to work in their life, that they will break away from the rc church and join a true Bible believing, Bible teaching church.

I'm always relieved when somebody so clearly knows who's going to hell and who isn't. Takes all that guesswork out of everything and we can just go on with our lives.
