What do Catholics believe happens to people who have never been baptized, but believe in Jesus Christ?

Answer 1

The Catholic Church believes that Baptism is necessary for salvation for those who have heard the Gospel and have had the opportunity of asking for Baptism.

Therefore
- Those who die for the sake of the faith with being Baptized are baptized by thier death for Christ. This is called Baptism of blood.
- Those who die while preparing for Baptism are assured salvation. This is Baptism of desire.
- Those who die never hearing of Christ but have sought the truth and does the will of God as they understand it can be saved. See Romans 2:13-16. This is also Baptism of desire.
- Children who have died without Baptism are entrusted to the mercy of God.

With love in Christ.
