The Roman Catholic Church does profess to be the one and only true faith. It's proof is in the four marks: One, Holy, Universal and Apostolic. Although it believes it has the fullness of truth, it still teaches that all who follow a sincere, honest and informed conscience will be saved through the Church through spritual membership, regardless of actual membership. But it states it is much more correct and provides better means to follow your conscience as above by being an actual member. Deliberate ignorance of these truths are grounds for damnation. God is the only final judge in these matters.

You're close. Being a good person has nothing to do with it but either does religion. The bible says you are right with God only by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. It's a personal thing, not a matter of religion, like you said.

yup. all religions can't be correct, because most claim that they are the only correct one. so, yes, there is only one correct religion.
what defines that a person is "good"? what point do you cross over to "bad"?
the new testament says that even the demons believe in god.

God's church has these 2 characteristics: Its members have faith in Jesus and they keep His Commandments.
God knew that in our day many people would be confused trying to choose from among so many churches and religions. They all pretend to be God's church. Some people even claim that all churches lead to God. If we pay attention to what the Bible says, it provides evidence that God's church has these qualities. And every person is responsible for finding this true church through careful study of the Bible.
REMEMBER-You don't find truth by a church, but you do find the right church by knowing the truth(John 17:17)
IDENTIFYING Marks of the true remnant Church:
*it has to be raised up after the 1260 years of papal persecution ends(1798)
*it calls people back to faithfulness in keeping God's commandments(John 15:10;Luke 16:17;Isaiah66:22-23)
*it preaches that God's judgment hour has begun(Rev.20:12)
*it teaches holines regarding our holy temples(1Cor6:18-20)
*it is guided by the gift of prophecy(Rev.12:17;Rev.19:10)
* gives a clear warning against the mark of the beast and his image(Dan7:25;2Thes.2:3-7;Rev17:6;Rev13,Rev19:20)
*teaches the Bible truth about death as a 'sleep'(Psalm146:4;Job14:12,21)
*God's church will proclaim the truth about Jesus' Second coming(Matthew16:27;Titus2:13)
*the true church will give a call for God's people to come out of Babylon(Rev.14:8;Rev.18:4)
*it will be a world-wide church with a world-wide message(Matthew 24:24:14;Rev.14:6)

-God has sincere people in many churches, who love The Lord and want to do His will. He invites them to come and join the one remnant voice preaching God's last-day message of salvation.(John 10:16)

Judas was Bad in the correct faith
Kernilious was Good out side the Faith
so that Jesus said
in John 10:16
16
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

There is not one that is totally correct. All religions serve God. Some just do a better job at it than others.

Religion is man made, so I would say no religion is 100% correct. The bible is the true inspired word of God and it's all you really need.

Yes, I think it does matter what religion you are. You have to KNOW what you believe in, otherwise you would be confused.

yes The only way to heaven is to believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead. If you say sorry for your sins you are saved or born again. Then you need to live for him. find a bible believing church they Will guide on what that means
