All terrible 🇺🇦 takes, all the time.
Takes do not have to be Ukraine/Russia related. Any bad take from a 🇺🇦 will suffice.

That’s not Catholic belief, that’s Mormon belief. Catholics believe that those that are not Catholics, but still “earnestly seek God”, are considered seeking the Holy Spirit and if they live their lives well, then they are allowed salvation. That means other religions are allowed salvation, Muslims, Buddhists, Hinduists, etc etc.
Atheists are the ones left out in the cold. Though they aren’t sent to Hell, they are judged be action and they can reach purgatory and then heaven, but not heaven right away.
Catholic doctrine is weird.
Plus the Catholic Church is like a Congress. They have debated these questions for millennia, and there have been dozens of different camps and interpretations. Even the original disciples split in their own interpretations.
What the church says at one time is not representative if the entire faith, it’s definitely a weird contradiction.
