Do those baptized in the name of Jesus make up only 1% of all Christendom, throughout all time?
Do you realize over half of all Christendom are unbaptized? Over half practice "infant baptism" and most of them don't even baptize (immerse) but sprinkle or pour. Plus there are those who "baptize" adults with sprinkling or pouring, but those aren't baptisms (immersions) either.
Over half of all living "Christians" believe remission of sins requires a duly authorised priest, auricular confession, and regular communion of the wafer. Another third believe it requires an authorized priest and regular communion of bread and wine.
Of the remaining 25%, MOST believe no nontrinitarian is saved. Most of that 25% also believe all the two thirds-three fourths of Christendom signified in the previous paragraph are lost BECAUSE of those stated beliefs.
In other words, NOBODY in Christendom except the ecumenical boobs on TBN and here on AFF think it strange that "everyone else in Christendom are in error and likely lost".
Or in still other words, your statement meant to shock people shocks nobody who actually stops and thinks about it.
