Outside of the Church there is no Salvation Dialogue Essay

Throughout your life you will meet people who will have questions about Christianity and Church teaching. 1 Peter 3:15 states, “but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you…” For this reason you will practice creating an explanation to the teaching, “outside of the Church there is no Salvation.” To do this, you will create a dialogue in question and answer format. You will come up with questions from someone wanting to learn more about Catholic teaching and formulate a response using scripture passages and quotes from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You must respond to a minimum of four questions and your response should take up two typed pages. One of your questions MUST be, “why is there no salvation outside the Church?”

I would like you to submit a response on one sheet of paper, which means you will print your work on one page using both the front and back of the paper. You must use a maximum of 12 (size) font in Times New Roman style. Please keep your margins to 1 inch all around and use nothing wider than 1.15 spacing, but it can be less. Your questions should include some of the following topics: who is Jesus; why is He important for salvation; what does it mean to be saved and how did Jesus accomplish this; what is the Catholic Church to Jesus; how does the Church connect with salvation; how can people outside of the Church be saved; and the mandatory topic, why is there no salvation outside the Church. Please site your scripture passages and CCC articles and submit a note-card with your name, block and scripture passages and CCC articles.
