Are all Catholics lost?

i understand why you say this, as you likely feel the need to defend your doctrine, but i think you must address the extent to which that pov is actually self serving, and recognize how you have become biased in a way that you were not when you first started seeking Christ. When Christ stated that the path was narrow, it would follow that men would seek to define that path corporately, and then, having convinced themselves that they had defined it correctly in Scripture, begin defending that corporate definition. Putting themselves at odds with others who are, after all, just seeking their own salvation in Christ. This goes directly against many Scriptures, and is a sin imo.
