 Actually, it doesn't. At least not if I understand you
 correctly. The Catholic church teaches you don't have to be
 Catholic to go to heaven, it's just easier. That was taught to
 me in Sunday School, some 50 years ago or more.

 OTOH, the only place I find where Jesus specifically, and
 unambigously said you would go to hell, is Matthew 25:41 to :45.

 It starts out, I was hungry and you did not feed me. Yeah, you
 go to hell for not caring for the poor, the only reason I find he
 said you would go to hell.
