    Actually, it doesn't. At least not if I understand you   
    correctly. The Catholic church teaches you don't have to be   
    Catholic to go to heaven, it's just easier. That was taught to   
    me in Sunday School, some 50 years ago or more.   
      
    OTOH, the only place I find where Jesus specifically, and   
    unambigously said you would go to hell, is Matthew 25:41 to :45.   
      
    It starts out, I was hungry and you did not feed me. Yeah, you   
    go to hell for not caring for the poor, the only reason I find he   
    said you would go to hell.
