According to Catholictheology, are other Christianspart of the Church Militantand Communion of Saints?
According to Catholic theology today, are other Christians considered part of the Christian Church in that of the Church Militant (Roman Catholic Church), the Communion of Saints, and if deceased the Church Triumphant, and Church Suffering? Are other Christians considered to be part of the Body of Christ, or do Catholics truly believe Bapitism in the Roman Catholic Church is the only way to truly be in the Church Militant spiritual bond with the Christian Church and Communion of Saints while on Earth? I am not Catholic, this is purely out of an interest of study and learning about the world's largest religion, so rather than religious answers just some answers on what the Catholics believe would be nice, though the religious answers were interesting.
Only Christians who have been baptized into the Roman Catholic Church are considered members of it. All Christians are considered part of the Body of Christ. All Christians are part of Christ's Church on Earth - the Church Militant - but not in full communion with it because they are not Catholic, which is where His Church subsists. Non-Christians are not part of Christ's Church, but are still People of God. The Communion of Saints "refers also to the communion of 'holy persons' (sancti) in Christ who died for all." "We believe in the communion of all the faithful of Christ, those who are pilgrims on earth [the Church Militant], the dead who are being purified [the Church Suffering], and the blessed in heaven [the Church Triumphant], all together forming one Church." Anyone who is a 'holy person' in Christ, Catholic or non, living or dead, is part of the Communion of Saints.
