All in heaven are Catholics.
All were not Catholics on earth.

Itās always interesting when there are concurrent threads accusing us of being universalists and strict exclusivists.
All salvation comes from Jesus, through His body. Cut off from His body, we wither and die. Thus comes the famous phrase outside the Church there is no salvation. His Body is His Church, which He entrusted to Peter and his successors.
āDenominationsā is a word invented in order to justify the proliferation of sects. The Apostle teaches the creation of sects is a work of the flesh and excludes from the Kingdom (Gal. 5:18-21). Those who create and perpetuate them rebel against Christās command for unity.
That being said, all who are baptized are born into the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13). Those who desire truth and unity in good faith are united to the Church, even if the visible bonds are obscured by past divisions of which they had no role. However, those who obstinately sow disunity, schism, and heresies, perpetuate them, or refuse to join in the unity of the Church (be from malice, negligence, sloth, a desire for human respect, pride, etc.), such are cut off from the Body and cast out from ark of salvation.
Of course, there is always time for repentence until the last moment of life.

Nobody will be gloating. Gloating is a manifestation of pride which wonāt exist in heaven.LOL the fun part when we get to heaven is to see the look on your guys faces to see how very wrong you have been
Those who got it right will also se very clearly that being right wasnāt their achievement, it was a grace. And that grace came with a heavy burden of expectation (talents and all thatā¦)
