Do Catholics believe that they are the only ones who are right? Do they feel that they are the right religion and everyone else is wrong? What is their belief about Protestants and nondenominational Christians going to heaven?

To your first question - no, they think if someone wasn't Catholic because that person didn't have enough knowledge, that person could still go to heaven,
To your second question - yes, I think all religions believe that they are right and therefore those who disagree are wrong. They kinda have to, KWIM?
Your third question is the same as your second.
They believe protestants, etc. can go to heaven only if they rejected catholicism out of ignorance or, for some reason, couldn't be catholic.

Catholics are deciving the people .It is so easy to know God just invite him into your heart and repent of your sins then you will be born again and you will go to be with Jesus.Catholics have so many rules God has none of them .If I were a catholic and had to follow all those rules i would fail and I would feel like I let God down and I may not want anything to do with God feeling like I dont deserve him.

Catholicism is Julius Ceasar building a church to control the world.... then there is men out there just as deadly functioning exactly the same way... I knew the names of two of them a few days ago today I add to the names of Rudolph Giuliani, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the names of Karl Roves, Dick Cheney, and Donald Trump. these are the names of evil influences on earth today... 10 names left to go.

This is one of the oldest questions around.
I heard it when I was a boy.
At that time the priest said yes, Catholics are the only ones that will go to heaven.
All who were not Catholic were doomed to hell.
If you left the Catholic Church you were condemned to Hell.
All who were not Catholic were of the devil is what was said.
Since then, I am no longer a Catholic and I am going to heaven.
Sola Scriptura.

No, although we feel the Catholic Church has the fullness of truth, people of other faiths will go to Heaven.

Some I suppose.
Most Evangelicals only believe true Christians will go to heaven.
The Westboro Baptist Church doesn't even think they are going to heaven, they just hope.
So many horribly led religious sects : (

Catholic and Jews. The Pope said that Jews could go to heaven too as they have a covenant with God.

Many of them do. As I understand Catholicism, there is an escape clause for those who have never been told about the Church, and therefore had no opportunity to join up. However, with 21st century communications, I doubt there are very many people left who qualify for that excuse.
Personally, I figure there are as many ways to the Divine as there are people. You got to find your own road.

No that is not how we are taught. We are taught that they also will find Heaven and that even non-Christians will. We have no right to decide for God who He can Love or speak to. Peace be with you

Nope. Catholics do not presume to take God's place and judge who is or isn't going to heaven.
