According to Catholic Dogma, outside the Catholic Church, their is no Salvation
"Outside the Church there is no salvation"
846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church
Fathers?[335] Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes
from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body:
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.[336]
847 This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their
own, do not know Christ and his Church:
Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ
or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and,
moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through
the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal
salvation.[337]
848 "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no
fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which
it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also
the sacred right to evangelize all men."[338]

October 2006 note: This Olympia Kiwanis stuff is old news. I've left this information on the web, because I like the thought that someone will say to one of these Kiwanis friends or members: "Grandma, (Grandpa), are you still friends with those Olympia Kiwanians?"
