It is 100% certain you're headed for Hell ...
for rejecting the Catholic Dogma ...
Warning: There are no bishops or priests in these times
<< On this site ... you will discover how you are being sent into Hell forever ...
your willingness to be deceived is making you eternally culpable >>
1. The Original Sin of Adam closed Heaven for all men (sanctifying grace was lost) ... Hell became the only possible destination for the immortal souls of men. 2. God re-opened Heaven by founding the Catholic Church and re-introducing sanctifying grace to men's souls ... the same grace which Adam and Eve had lost.
We are currently in the Great Apostasy (world-wide rejection of God's Catholic Dogma), these warnings apply:
3.Warning 1: A non-Catholic anti-Christ cult (the Vatican-2 heretic cult) took over all of our formerly Catholic properties on 8 December 1965 ... the "V-2 council" close date. 4.Warning 2: The buildings with Catholic signs out front are not Catholic Churches at this time. God has allowed the Mass to be taken away (Sections 88 and 90). 5.Warning 3:All those dressed up like Catholic bishops and priests are ... automatically excommunicated heretics against the Catholic Dogma (Sections 12 and 13.2). 6.Warning 4: You must verify for yourself that a heretic cult has taken over our formerly Catholic properties ... simply take the steps outlined in Section 21.5.
* Vatican-2-ists: You are automatically excommunicated from the Catholic Church … Abjuration to re-enter on Section 19.1 *
7. One can still be Catholic and get to Heaven with a proper baptism in water (Section 7) ... believing the Dogmas ... and keeping free from mortal sin (Section 10.1). 8. All grace, both actual and sanctifying grace, starts with God and comes into the world through the Blessed Virgin ... as Jesus Christ Himself did (Section 4). 9. The Old Testament Israelite religion was the Catholic Faith unfulfilled ... the "judaism" man-made fable started about 200 B.C. (Section 39.1). Jesus Christ was not a jew. 10. All heretics are in sin against the First Commandment (Section 8) ... and are headed for Hell ... with the pagans of the world (all those not properly baptized in water).

Baptism in pure and natural water ... Is a universal requirement to get to Heaven ... For all men
Catholic Saint John 3:5 > "Unless one be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God."
Catholic writing in Isaias 59:1 > "Behold the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save." ( In the way that He prescribed ... because God cannot deceive )
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BAPTISM:
To have a valid sacrament, baptism included, the sacrament must have the proper (1) Form, (2) Matter, and (3) Intent.
The form (words) for baptism are: "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen."
(You start pouring the water over the skin of the forehead when you start the words, it doesn't matter if the water runs out before you finish the form.)
(The water must run over the skin of the forehead, water poured onto the hair at the top of the head is not baptism)
Note: You will see - Holy Ghost - instead of - Holy Spirit - in many English translations of Church writings. The Latin for the Third Person of the Holy Trinity is: Spiritu Sancto (Holy Spirit). Church General Council English translations before the year 1500 A.D. all read - Holy Spirit - ... and if you check the Latin Vulgate Bible websites the Scriptures all read: Spiritu Sancto (Holy Spirit). We are not sure why we see - Holy Ghost - in some English translations.
The matter for baptism is: pure and natural water.
The proper intention for baptism by the baptizer is: to have the intent to remit Orginal Sin from the soul.
> > If the person is past the age of reason (7 years) he must believe the Catholic Faith at the moment of baptism, otherwise it is not valid. If a person is past the age of reason and is undergoing "baptism" into a heresy in a heretic meeting hall (such as a 15 year old "lutheran" or 20 year old "baptist") that person is in fact not baptized (Original Sin remains on the soul) so they are still not in a justified state and cannot enter Heaven ... unless this is remedied with a valid baptism. No one can be baptized into a heresy, you can only be baptized into the truth ... when past the age of reason.
> > For infant baptism (under 7 years of age) one would actually have a valid Catholic baptism, even in a heretic meeting hall, as long as the form, matter, and intent are correct. The infant is in the Catholic Church, then if he remains in the heretic group past the age of reason (7 years) the Holy Spirit automatically removes (excommunicates) his soul from the Catholic Church ... for participation in a heretical society.
WARNING: Do not, under any circumstances go into a building with a Catholic sign out front for water baptism for the following two reasons:
1.As an adult ... you cannot be baptized into a heresy, the baptism will not be valid. Post age of reason (7 years) you must believe the Catholic Dogma at the moment of baptism for the baptism to be valid. The non-Catholic Vatican-2 meeting halls cannot bring you into the Catholic Church since they are the buildings of a heretic cult ... this cult (which you must stay out of anyway) will obviously not teach you the Catholic Dogma in preparation for their invalid "baptism" because that is not their "religion" (see Section 12). Other heretic groups (they are all in violation of the Catholic Dogma on Jurisdiction and Governance) with Catholic signs ("SSPX", "SSPV", "CMRI", etc.) will "teach" you their filthy "baptism of desire", "supplied jurisdiction" or other heresies so that the baptism will not be valid.
2.Regarding infants ... the heretics who are dressed like Catholic priests will almost certainly falsify the baptism by having an improper intent ... in which case the "baptism" will not be valid. He will "baptize" with the intention of "bringing you into the community" instead of the intention to remit Original Sin.
Simply follow the above instructions and perform the baptisms yourself (on infants) ... and on post age of reason persons after they have learned and believe the Catholic Dogma and Sources of Dogma.
There is a Baptism Certificate for downloading in Appendix A of this site, it is Item 45 (ms-powerpoint file).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONDITIONAL RE-BAPTISM
For a person where you are not sure whether they have been baptized or not ... the form (words) of the Sacrament are a little different. They are:
"If you are already baptized, I do not baptize you, if you are not yet baptized, I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen"
Start pouring the water over the skin of the forehead at the words "I baptize you in ..."
This is the conditional re-baptism -- which must be done -- for those persons who may or may not have been baptized as an infant (under 7 years) in the heretic meeting halls of the Vatican-2 jew-heretic cult (that have the Catholic signs out front) anytime after 1965. This vicious cult is falsifying baptisms by having a false intention - such as having the intention of "baptizing someone into the community" instead of having the proper intention of remitting Original Sin.
This is the conditional re-baptism -- which must be done -- for those persons who may or may not have been baptized as an infant (under 7 years) in the heretic meeting halls of the "SSPX", "SSPV", "Thuc line groups", "CMRI", other "independent" groups, for the same reason of probable invalidating of the baptism by having a false intent - any intention other than the intention of the Catholic Church which is the remission of Original Sin. These groups are virulent "baptism of desire" heretics, they do not even believe water is required for baptism ... they are viciously and maliciously against all the Ex-Cathedra Dogma listed in Section 7.2 of this site.
On the requirement to believe the Catholic Faith (the Dogma) at the moment of Water Baptism ...
For post age of reason persons (7 years) ... for the Baptism to be valid :
Council of Trent, Session 6, Chapter 6, 1547 A.D. – Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"Now they (adults) are disposed unto the said justice, when, excited and assisted by divine grace, conceiving faith by hearing, they are freely moved towards God, believing those things to be true which God has revealed ... lastly, when they purpose to receive baptism."
Note 1: Post age of reason persons (7 years) must believe the Faith at the moment of water baptism ... for the baptism to be valid.
Note 2: This Source of Dogma also rules out the possibility that a post age of reason person may be validly baptized in a heretic cult ("lutheran", "vatican-2", "baptist", "sspx", "evangelical", etc.) ... they can't. For example, a 12 year old undergoing what looks like baptism in the "vatican-2" cult or the "lutheran" cult does not believe the Catholic Faith at the moment of baptism so the baptism is not valid ... Original Sin remains on the soul and, of course, the person remains outside of the Catholic Church.
Note 3: This would happen inside a heretic cult anyway (but set that aside for a moment) ... if someone believes a heresy such as ... "baptism of desire", salvation outside of the Catholic Church, heretics are Christians, the Old Testament Israelite (they weren't jews) religion is not over, etc. -- at the moment of baptism, they are not baptized and retain Original Sin on their soul.

Council of Trent, Session 6, Canon 3, 1547 A.D. – Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"If any one saith, that without the prevenient inspiration of the Holy Ghost, and without His help, man can believe, hope, love, or be penitent as he ought, so as that the grace of Justification may be bestowed upon him; let him be anathema."
Note 1: Believing the Faith at the moment of baptism ... so that Justification of the soul may be brought about by the water baptism.
Note 2: This Source of Dogma also rules out the possibility that a post age of reason person may be validly baptized in a heretic cult ("lutheran", "vatican-2", "baptist", "sspx", "evangelical", etc.) ... they can't. For example, a 12 year old undergoing what looks like baptism in the "vatican-2" cult or the "lutheran" cult does not believe the Catholic Faith at the moment of baptism so the baptism is not valid ... Original Sin remains on the soul and, of course, the person remains outside of the Catholic Church.
Note 3: This would happen inside a heretic cult anyway (but set that aside for a moment) ... if someone believes a heresy such as ... "baptism of desire", salvation outside of the Catholic Church, heretics are Christians, the Old Testament Israelite (they weren't jews) religion is not over, etc. -- at the moment of baptism, they are not baptized and retain Original Sin on their soul.
On the requirement for having the proper intention in Baptism ... the intention to remit Original Sin:
Council of Florence, Session 8, 22 November 1439 -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"All these sacraments are made up of three elements: namely, things as the matter, words as the form, and the person of the minister who confers the sacrament with the intention of doing what the Church does. If any of these is lacking, the sacrament is not effected."
Note: The "intention of doing what the Church does" ... is having the intention to remit Original Sin.
~ ~
~ ~
Pope Alexander VIII, 1689-1691 >
"Baptism is valid when conferred by a minister who observes all the external rite and form of baptizing, but within his heart resolves, I do not intend what the Church does. - Condemned" (as error)
~ ~
~ ~
Council of Trent, Session 7, On the Sacraments in General, Canon 11, 1547 A.D. -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"If any one saith, that, in ministers, when they effect, and confer the sacraments, there is not required the intention at least of doing what the Church does; let him be anathema." (anathema means cursed, the curse is part of this infallible Canon)
~ ~
~ ~
Council of Trent, Session 7, Baptism Section, Canon 4, 1547 A.D. -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"If any one saith, that the baptism which is even given by heretics in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, with the intention of doing what the Church doth, is not true baptism; let him be anathema."
Note 1: The Church verifying again that "the intention of doing what the Church does" in Baptism ... that is to remit Original Sin ... must be present during baptism.
Note 2: All infant baptism brings the infant into the Catholic Church. An infant baptism inside a "lutheran" heretic meeting hall brings the infant into the Catholic Church but if the person is still in the heretic cult after the age of reason (7 years) he is automatically excommunicated for physical participation in a heretical society.

~ ~
Council of Florence, Session 8, 22 November 1439 -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
But in case of necessity not only a priest or a deacon, but even a lay man or a woman, even a pagan and a heretic, can baptize provided he or she uses the form of the Church and intends to do what the Church does."
~ ~
~ ~
... And related, regarding intention and other Sacraments ... which used to be available before the Vatican-2 cult took over our buildings:
Council of Trent, Session 14, Chapter 6, 1551 A.D. -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"But although the absolution of the priest is the dispensation of another's bounty ... and therefore the penitent ought not so to confide in his own personal faith, as to think that, -- even though there be no contrition on his part, or no intention on the part of the priest of acting seriously and absolving truly, -- he is nevertheless truly and in God's sight absolved, on account of his faith alone."
Note: There is no Sacramental Confession in these times, see Section 10.2 of this site for the Church's direction for when confession is not available.
Council of Florence, Session 11, 4 February 1442 -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"For, provided the substance of bread remains, there should be no doubt at all that after the aforesaid words of consecration of the body have been pronounced by a priest with the intention of consecrating, immediately it is changed in substance into the true body of Christ."
Note: Catholic Mass is not available in these times, see Sections 12 and 13 and their subsections of this site.
- - - -
For example ... from the website of a Vatican-2 cult meeting hall in Los Angeles (the non-Catholic make believe "Padre Serra Parish"):
The wicked falsification of baptisms by having false intention (from their satanic website):
"Through water and anointing new members are initiated into a relationship with God as Father, and with the whole Christian Community in the Church."
The Catholic required intention of remitting Original Sin is missing ... the "baptisms" are not valid (of course and as usual) at this Vatican-2 cult meeting place.
I think we can all see what level of wickedness the Vatican-2 group leaders (the fake priests) are at ... as they keep little babies (and others) on the road to Hell by falsifying the baptisms of unsuspecting people and those prior to the age of reason.

Pope Saint Leo the Great, Council of Chalcedon, Letter to Flavian section, 451 A.D. -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"For there are three who give testimony – Spirit and water and blood. And the three are one.
In other words, the Spirit of Sanctification and the Blood of Redemption and the water
of baptism. These three are one and remain indivisible. None of them is separable
from its link with the others."
Note: The Spirit of Sanctification (Justification) is inseparable from water baptism (they are "one").
No one is justified without water baptism and so no one can enter Heaven without water baptism. The reference to Blood here is the Blood of the Passion which, now, gives the power to the water to remit Original Sin in a properly performed baptism.

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Session 8, Exultate Deo, 22 Nov 1439 -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
""Holy baptism holds the first place among all the sacraments, for it is the gate of the spiritual life; through it we become members of Christ and of the body of the Church. Since death came into the world through one person, unless we are born again of water and the Spirit, we cannot, as Truth says, enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Fourth Lateran Council, Constitution 1 - Profession of Faith, Paragraph 3, 1215 A.D. -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"But the sacrament of baptism is consecrated in water at the invocation of the undivided Trinity -- namely Father, Son and
Holy Spirit -- and brings salvation to both children and adults when it is correctly carried out by anyone in the form laid down by
the Church. If someone falls into sin after having received baptism, he or she can always be restored through true penitence."
Note 1: If you believe baptism can be consecrated in "desire" or "blood" ... you're in a heretical state, automatically excommunicated, and headed for Hell.
Note 2: Ex-Cathedra ... the Pope in union with the Bishops of the world ... at a worldwide General Council.
Note 3: Regarding the text: "and brings salvation" ... after one is baptized into the Church he must remain in the Church by not falling into heresy. If one falls into heresy or participation in a heretic cult ("lutheran", "vatican-2", "methodist", "evangelical", etc.) after baptism ... he would make an Abjuration as see on Section 19.1 of this site to re-enter the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church does not have any buildings at this time (see Sections 12 through 21).
Note 4: Please see Sections 10.1, 10.2, and 29 regarding penitence after falling into sin after baptism.

The latter I shall lose at death: the other will be my passport to everlasting glory."
Note: After water baptism one must keep to the Dogma of the Faith to remain in the Catholic Church. If one falls away from the Dogma or participates in a heretical society after baptism he is automatically excommunicated.

catechumen, was killed in a sudden disaster and not baptized? Look for rewards, and you will find nothing but
punishments. Of what use would repentance be, if Baptism did not follow? No matter what progress a catechumen may
make, he still carries the burden of iniquity, and it is not taken away until he has been baptized." Reference 4
Note: Regarding the text: "was killed in a sudden disaster and not baptized" ... this is from man's perspective. God has perfect knowledge of past, present, and future -- there is no such thing as a "sudden disaster" that God could not stop in the blink of an eye. The "sudden disaster" argument is often heard as a way to attack the Catholic Dogma regarding the 100% requirement for all of water baptism ... but Saint Augustine correctly identifies that a "sudden disaster" death is irrelevant, a "sudden disaster" death cannot bring a person into the justified state.

Note 2: There is at least one English version of the Catechism of Trent that suggest that one who dies while on his way to baptism might be saved. Simply ignore things like this which are clearly false. The "baptism of desire" heretics are almost innumerable. Catechisms are not authoritative they are simply supposed to support and defend the Dogma.

Catholic writing of 1 Saint Peter 3:20-21 >
"In the days of Noah, when the Ark was under construction, eight souls were saved by water; whereunto Baptism,
being of like form, now saves you also."
Note: The word "saved" means that your soul is in Heaven. One must be baptized in water and persevere to the end, believing the entire Catholic Faith to get to Heaven. See Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 9 regarding keeping the entire Faith to have a possibility of getting to Heaven.

Saint Basil the Great, died 379 A.D. >
"Had Israel not crossed the Sea, they would not have escaped from Pharoah; likewise, if you do not go through the
water, you will not escape from the cruel tyranny of the demon." Reference 21
Note: The Israelites who crossed the Red Sea were not "jews". The "judaism" fable started about 200 B.C. when a group of the Israelites left God's covenant with Israel and fell into pagan talmudic judaism which unfortunately persists to this day, sending all of its adherents into Hell forever. Please see Section 39.1 of this website. The religion of the Old Testament Israelites was the Catholic Faith unfulfilled it wasn't "judaism". The Catholic Church unfulfilled wrote the Old Testament it wasn't written by "jews".

Saint Cyprian, died 258 A.D. >
"Being placed outside the Church, and cut off from unity and charity, heretics or schismatics could not be crowned
in death, even though one should be slain for the name of Christ. Even if a man should deliver his body to be burned,
he gains nothing. Baptism of blood cannot profit a heretic unto salvation, because there is no salvation outside the
Church." Reference 22
Note: Notice that Saint Cyprian states: "slain for the name of Christ" and not "slain for Christ". This is because heretics are never slain for Christ since their heretic "Christs" do not even exist. There is no such thing as a "lutheran Christ" or a "baptist Christ", etc., the only Christ that exists is the Catholic one.

Saint Alphonsus Maria Liguori, Doctor of the Church, died 1787 >
"We should not forget that the devil has his martyrs, and that he infuses into them a false constancy. It is not the
punishment, but the cause, that makes the martyr, that is: the true faith." Reference 24

Pope Pelagius II, 570-590 A.D. >
"If those unwilling to be at agreement in the Church be slain outside the Church, they cannot attain to the rewards of
the Church." Reference 25

Pope Eugene IV, 1431-1447 A.D. >
"No one, even if he pour out his blood for the name of Christ, can be saved unless he remain within the bosom and
unity of the Catholic Church." Reference 26
Note: No heretic is slain for Christ, they are slain defending the false "Christs" who do not even exist -- such as the "lutheran Christ", "baptist Christ", "methodist Christ", etc. Only Catholics can be martyrs because Christ founded only the Catholic Church to re-open Heaven for men's souls.

Saint Cyprian, died 258 A.D. >
"Nay, though they should suffer death for the Name, the guilt of such men is not removed even by their blood, for
not even blood can wash away the stain of heresy. Baptism of fire does not help such a person if he dies outside
the Church, for the grievous sin of schism is not purged away even by martyrdom. No martyr can he be who is not in
the Church. Such a man may be put to death; crowned he cannot be." Reference 27

Pope Saint Zosimus, 417-418 A.D. >
"When the Lord says: "Unless one be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he shall not enter into the Kingdom
of God" (Catholic Saint John 3:5), what Catholic will doubt that whoever has not deserved to be a co-heir with Christ will be a
partner with the devil?" Reference 28

Truth of the super-natural order: All grace starts with God, goes to the hands of the Blessed Virgin, and then into the world. God (Grace Himself) came into the world by the Blessed Virgin, God never changes, all grace follows the same path to this day and until the end of the world.
