I have a question: Can one be Catholic and hold to a strict interpetation to: Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus?
It depends.
If a �strict interpretation� means to adhere closely to this teaching as explained by later official statements, then yes.
If a �strict interpretation� means to ignore the Church�s further explanation of this statement in favor of a personal opinion not actually taught by the Church, then no.
Alex raises a good point, Vlad. What aspect of this issue regarding the Eastern Christian Churches are you interested in exploring?
