Great Mokantz! Rethinking the notion of "saved" is long, long overdue. It has been so used and abused that it is meaningless. From the mindless Baptism - to avoid purgatory, to the rapture experience of the whatever, the restricting of salvation by constructing a "narrow gate" of institutional membership does a disservice to the Creator as well as to our faith in Jesus.  I frequently suggest - and it really haunts me with joy - that Jesus broke the bounds of space and time, even in the telling of the story of redemption. He instituted Eucharist of resurrection before he died; He died later and elswhere; He rose even later and elsewhere from both. I recall the lines from a play about a latino martyr: "Jesus Christ yesterday, today and tomorrow".  Mankind existed and exists well beyond the "fence" of Catholicism but well within the yard of God.
