Catholics often claim to have the “Fullness of the Truth.”

Is this an official teaching of the Church? If so, what does this actually mean? How are we to view our separted brethren and others in light of this belief?

Likewise, those who embrace Sola Scriptura, on what basis do you believe the “Fullness of the Truth” has been revealed through the Bible alone?
 
Our Separated Brethren believe in being saved by God’s Grace, which is correct. But they don’t believe in Transubstantiation, so their Truth isn’t complete Truth.

This is just an example to illustrate my point. There may be some that believe in Transubstantiation, but they differ which us on one or more other truths.

[818](javascript:openWindow(‘cr/818.htm’)😉 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers . . . . All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."272
819 "Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth"273 are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements."274 Christ’s Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him,275 and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity."276
