From a Lutheran perspective, we would say (and I think Catholics agree) that Christ’s atonement is once for all. Salvation is available for all, and we can pray for the salvation of all, but that’s not the same as saying all are indeed saved.
Fallen angels can not be saved from what I have read in Scripture.
Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition , the Council teaches that the Church , a pilgrim now on earth , is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation ; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ , would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.WOW. Who is teaching you!!!??
I would agree with that, if you didn’t mention them, I was going to. They are very liberal to the point that they celebrate all religions and religious holidays. I read an article once about mixed Jewish and Christian marriages and how these couples would end up the a Unitarian church because the celebrate both sets of holidays (as well as many more). Visited the graves of both Presidents Adams in the oldest continuous Unitarian Church in the country. In talking with the people there, they stated to us that they celebrate all spiritualies and that there are many paths to God. ( am not saying that I agree at all, this is what they believe)
Thank you so much for saying that. Sometimes It just seems really hard you know? Sometimes though when people talk about hell it makes me wonder about god, But I know the Catholic Church is the one true church. I should just try harder to have faith. Thank you again for saying that, It really helped.
I thought the Unitarian/Universalists taught that everyone will be saved! Might someone clear this up for me if I am wrong?
Yes, basically and that is what I thought you meant by the question of univeral salvation, that everyone will be saved and all spiritual paths are good and equal.
Don’t thank me thank the Lord we serveThank you so much for saying that. Sometimes It just seems really hard you know?

If you are serious about building your faith the first thing you should do right now is make sure to read and understand The Parable of the Sewer. If you have not read it at least 10 times in your life please go do that now.
With that parable at your disposal you will not be led astray. Remember that Satan has infiltrated the Church - it is up to you to make sure a blind man does not lead you into a pit. The Church can not do that for you - for there are many blind men in it (less of them than any where else though).
Are you praying the rosary? It can be hard to get in to at first but it is one of the most useful prayers at your disposal.
edit; DO NOT FORGET. There is a legion of demons actively trying to stop you. They can literally plant thoughts in your mind. Be vigilant. There are many modernized Catholics (including priests) who will never warn you about this. They have been led astray - do not follow them. Follow the Church’s teaching - NOT the Church’s teachers. Our blessed mother has warned us that we would be infiltrated and many priests would be led astray. We have been warned about many things that have come to pass - I would recommend educating yourself on that. No one else will bother to trust me…
The Unitarian Universalists were once two seperate churches that united in I think the19th century. The Universalist church taught universal salvation.
I think they do but then are they actually a Christian denomination? Denying the Trinity would put them outside of Christian faith according to most other denominations.
