NO
The Question really is What religion saves? NONE DO.... You don't have to be religious to go to Heaven, However, If you are IN CHRIST....You will be a new creation, the old is gone and the new is present...You will be changed. Only People who have a personal relationship with God the Father through the ONLY means possible... Faith in His Son Jesus "The Christ" will enter into heaven. Being "Born Again" as Jesus stated in John chapter 3 you MUST be Born Again....NO EXCEPTIONS...You/I/We MUST BE born again....There is Absolute Truth...Believe and Be Baptized.

We will all be fairly judged based on two things, how we loved God and how we loved our neighbor.
Too many denominations of Christianity spend far too much time rediculing and or judging the rest especially Catholiscism, so the question has to be asked does this go against the former two commands of Christ? wether or not you are Christian still leaves the fact that all are human beings dearly loved by God and this religious in-fighting hardly reflects that pure love and mercy which is God.
There may well be millions of Christians but how many are really mature one`s, finally I believe that Protestants can and do go to Heaven but will have to repay wrong-doings in Purgatory just like Catholics will have to also, unless of course they think that they are so pure and holy that they can enter the infinite holy presence of God as they are.

Your religious beliefs have nothing to do with getting to Heaven. It is up to the individual if he/she wants to go to Heaven.

"The only way to heaven is through the one that heaven sent" Lecrae-----Myspace
Anyway John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
So as you can see anyone can be saved and enter into heaven. Lastly Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Anyone can get to heaven. The way is very simple. Realize that you are a sinner Rom 3:23. Know that your sin will send you to hell Rom 6:23 and also know that God loves you John 3:16 and sent his son to die on the Cross to pay for your sins. and if you accept him with a heart towards him he will save you Rom 10:9-10.

Turn from sin to God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and you too will get into heaven!

Heaven's gate opens to those who accept.... so yes, when they stop protesting, they can walk in.
This is an oversimplification of course.

from the Catechism Of The Catholic Church:
CCC 819 - "....many elements of sanctification and of truth" are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements." Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation...... All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him, and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity."276

A little wake up call for everyone. Jesus isnt your friend Barny.
He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.' Then the righteous will answer him and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?' And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.' Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.' Then they will answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?' He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.' And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
Matthew 25:33-46
They ones who thought they were saved were not. The ones who didnt know they were saved were.
