Christians, do Catholics go to Heaven?
uh, yeah.
We are the original Christians. We were the only church until the division between the Eastern Orthodox and the Roman Catholic. What do you mean, Christians, do Catholics go to Heaven? Without Catholics no other Christians would be practicing!

Evodius was the first Bishop of Antioch, and he is credited with being the first person to call the followers of Christ, "Christians", as shown in Acts 11:26. See Eusebius, book 3, chapter 22.
Saint Ignatius (35-107), the second Bishop of Antioch wrote a letter to the Smyrneans in 107 A.D..
In this letter is recorded the first known use of the words "Catholic Church"...
Based on the above I would say Yes and I would also say that Protestants are not christan scince they reject the Catholic Church.
Jesus also had this to say, "And if he refuse to hear them, appeal to the Church, but if he refuses to hear even the Church, let him be to you as the heathen and the publican. Amen I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound also in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed also in heaven."

Catholics are Christians. Or would you care to explain why Catholics are not Christians?

Just as there are tons of Protestants who sit in pews every Sunday, yet do not know the Lord they claim to know, so too are there Catholics who trust in something other than Christ for their salvation.
Therefore, it depends. As it is written: "The Lord knows those who are his..." (II Timothy 2:19)

Hello,
Catholics are Christians by definition and are the largest of all denominations. Their chances are the same as any other Christian's.
Cheers,

Denomination does not determine salvation. Anyone who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died to take our sins upon Himself, that He rose again, and who accepts His sacrifice, is saved and has a home in Heaven.
In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
