They also have to have merit in God's sight.

I do not know of any Catholics that think they will go to heaven just because their faith is true. That sounds more like the "once saved, always saved" man made doctrine of some Protestants.

This Catholic doesn't...I trust in God's mercy but I'll consider myself lucky if I make Purgatory (sort of an "on-deck" for Heaven.)
But Catholicism IS a true faith. Other Christian Churches are as well. All churches hold at least SOME element of the Truth.

You can be a catholic and not go to Heaven. All it takes to go to Heaven is to be a good person. Hindu, christian or muslim doesnt matter.. as long as you are a good person, you should go to heaven.
A good person doesnt have to worry, no matter the book he reads before he goes to bed. ;)

They don't believe such things. Ask properly-educated (Roman) Catholics what they believe and don't just swallow what anti-Catholics tell you.
Not one, myself, but I know they don't believe what you attribute to them.

I can tell you how to get to heaven. I just give your mom 10 bucks for that next hit of crack and she takes me to heaven.
