That nun is not teaching Catholic doctrine.
The Catholic Church teaches:
Furthermore, 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, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church.
All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 819: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt3art9p3.htm#819
With love in Christ.

That isn't true. I believe in God but I'm not Catholic. I'm a United Christian. That Nun of yours is being rude and disrespectful. If she think that her religion is the only one, then she has some issues to get over. You need to have done good in your life to go heaven, you don't need to be a Catholic.

I'm a Catholic (Even though I don't believe in all that the Church teaches) I'm pretty sure that the Catholic Church teaches that only Christians go to heaven.

She did not say that. What she said was, "Only those in the Catholic Church can go to Heaven". This does not necessarilly mean "only Catholics go to Heaven"
You see, anyone who has received a valid Baptism is a member of the Catholic Church. Those who have been Baptized as Catholics are direct members of His Church. Those validly Baptized from other Christian denominations are also members of the Church, albeit indirectly.

The Nuns at my school said the same thing. However, this is not part of oficial Catholic teachings.

That is not true!
All true Believers will find there way to Heaven!
All that Love will find their way to Heaven!
It's is not a question of what Religion is the Right Religion, but, how a person lives there life.
For even the un-believers who live a caring life will
find their way into heaven
We are all God's children!
As long as we LOVE, we will find Heaven!
PS - I was taught by Nuns

This nun obviosly hasn't read her bible. Revelations 3:20 makes it clear that anyone who repents will go to heaven, not just Catholics.

Tell your Nun to read that to you out the scriptures. Sorry but its not written in it, nor does the lord says that he will take anyone to heaven. Tell her to show you where the kingdom of god will be?, its not in heaven. plain and simple, read your bible
