A sincere explanation is provided of what the Holy Spirit has put on my heart to say, and we should be free to consider these points without being censored or disallowed any consideration of them, otherwise it is like living in Nazi Germany, not allowed to talk about certain things or admit that you were a Jew, for fear of reprisal and printed information blocked out from public eyes by those abusing with their controlling agenda.
Christians don't think Catholics are saved, nor do Christians believe Mormons or other fringe elements are Christians. The reason Christians don't think Catholics are saved first and foremost is because Roman Catholics add books to the 66 books of God's complete Word (see Rev. 22.18,19). They teach heresies such as non-OSAS, sinless Mary, mistreatment of women disallowing them to be apostles, elders, teachers. As well, they falsely teach amillennialism, intermediary priesthood, popery, paying for indulgences for salvation after death, and idolizing saints who specialize in certain gifts for different skill sets like in hinduism a person can worship the gods of their own choosing for their own self-gain to attain those skill sets without regard to God's leading. This takes one's eye off of Christ and misses the point that all believers are saints, not just a select few supposed Roman believers given high acclaim in the Roman history books.
To know a Roman Catholic is unsaved, observe them as they go through their lives they will usually never repent of these sins. And they will censor us Christians and our posts when we present these problems for discussion.
It is true one in three people on the planet call themselves Christian, but obviously they are not all correct; so, the Bible tells us we shall know them by their fruit if they have been authentically regenerated by the Holy Spirit through new birth.
To give an estimate, all we have to go on besides observing their fruit is the size the new city which is 1379 x 1379 miles or about the size of India or half the size of United States which likely is no more than about 1 or 1.2 billion people could comfortably fit.
If there have been about 88 billion souls to date (various studies point to this number (http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/savingsratio.htm)) and 145 billion souls will be born in the coming millennium (again, various studies point to this number), that gives a total of 233 billion souls. 1.2 billion into 233 is 194. Best guess 1 in 194 people are actually born-again. This makes you question a lot of things.
According to this data we can see Christ could not have returned at 1000 AD because from the population explosion in the last two centuries the savings ratio would be too high. By the same token Jesus must return soon otherwise the savings ratio becomes far too agregious. Plug in the data yourself to see Jesus could not return earlier than this century, nor does it seem plausible he would wait even a few hundred years more to return. The return of Christ is probably this century, if not the next, to reign on earth in Person for 1000 years. The Roman Church despises this.
Remember, though the Roman Church is the largest contingent by far, the Bible speaks against them as the woman who sits on the beast of nations (Rev. 17) and makes them drunk by the wine of the wrath of her fornications (14.8) for being married to the world and the world's ways to have influence over the nations, e.g. remember when she was seen in pictures with Hitler? There is nothing she won't do to gain power in the world.
In the end, she will be destroyed by the Antichrist, because even in name she says she is "in Christ".
