Belief in Christ and Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
That's all that's required.
Your institution was invented well after the life of Christ and busied itself with collecting money and selling indulgences. You will not find salvation inside those cold marble walls.

it's very brave to say that when the Catholic Church is currently a satanic den of vipers, and the Bible clearly explains both how the only salvation is through Jesus Christ and how schisms about who-follows-who are of no practical use.
> I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought ... What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Vatican 2 is a non-Catholic counter sect. They are bunch of heretics. And heretics are outside the Catholic Church. Our Lady of Fatima: "Apostasy will start from the top". Our Lady of Lasallette:"Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the antichrist. The Church will be in eclipse".

"As we were leaving I took a photograph of Hitler. Hitler came slowly down the steps, and when the golden cross of the great gates was exactly over his head, I snapped him. From my point of view, it was an interesting and original snap. But the clerical opponents of the Party held violently opposed views. When the picture appeared in my book, Hitler as No One Knows Him, I was accused of trying to represent him as a devout churchman. Even Hess demanded that the photograph should be withdrawn, but I submitted the whole thing to Hitler himself for his personal decision. ‘That I visited the church is a fact. What my thoughts were, you could not photograph, and it wasn’t you who put up the cross which happens to be just above my head in the snap. Leave it just as it is, Hoffmann – if the people think I’m a devout man, well, no harm will come of that!’"

> "When in his speeches he referred to Providence, he did not do so simply to achieve rhetorical effect; he really believed what he said, and this conviction could not but be strengthened by the truly miraculous manner in which he was again and again preserved."

Find a TradCath church that does Latin Rite Mass (no Novus Ordo heresy). Have heard some Orthodox churches are based too but cannot confirm personally.
What a nigger, it's so obvious you have never read a book regarding his thoughts
"Since I had singing lessons in my spare time at the Lambach choristry, I had the best opportunity to fall under the spell of the sumptuous celebrations of Church festivals."
Mein Kampf
"On the other hand, St Florian became for me, too, a place of pilgrimage, for here, where Anton Bruckner had worked and hallowed the surroundings by his memory, we imagined that we actually met ‘God’s musician’ and heard his inspired improvisations on the great organ in the magnificent church. Then we would stand in front of the simple gravestone let into the floor beneath the choir, where the great master had been buried ten years earlier. The wonderful monastery had aroused my friend to the heights of enthusiasm."
THE YOUNG HITLER I KNEW (August Kubizek)
"In 1925, I decided that the time had come for my nine-year-old son to go to boarding school, and I consulted Hitler on the subject. ‘I strongly recommend you to send him to a convent school,’ he said. ‘For young people the convent school is the best educational institution we have. The Simbach convent, on the Inn opposite Braunau, had a great reputation when I was a young man.’ This advice rather astonished me, for Hitler, of course, knew that I was a Protestant. But I took his advice, and he drove my son down to the convent in his new Mercedes and personally handed him over to the Mother Superior. ‘See that you make a decent man of him,’ he admonished her, on departing. And on the drive home he turned to me. ‘You should make a present of a really good picture to the convent,’ he said."

I realize that it has become customary for Christians to go to church on Sunday, but Sunday is actually the first day of the week. Saturday is the true sabbath.

And they're wrong.
Exodus 31:16–17 (KJV):
“Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever:
for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.”
"Perpetual covenant" is a very strong and clear phrasing. But considering a large percentage of people can't seem to wrap their head around "shall not be infringed" either, I'm not surprised the masses have been misled.
This is Mosaic Law, which was given specifically to Israel. It included things like ceremonial law (clean versus unclean food, circumcision, etc) as well. We are not jews under the Mosaic Law, we are Christians under a new covenant with Christ, who fulfilled the Law and the Prophets.
* Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them (Matthew 5:17)

I'm guessing you are Seventh Day Adventist, if not a jew. Under Mosaic Law, Saturday was the Sabbath. In the New Testament, Sunday was considered the first day of the week (Acts, Corinthians) and the day that the followers of Christ met, as well as the day He rose from the grave. Sunday is considered the Lord's Day. We later see early church and historical leaders following Sunday being the Lord's Day. Worshipping on Sunday is a clear distinction between followers of Christ and jews.
*On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. (Acts 20:7)
*Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. (1 Corinthians 16)
*I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice.... (Revelation 1:10)
(Apologies it's been awhile, I forgot how to do quotes)
Paul's practicality makes a fine counterpoint to being too strict about which day is what:
> One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God ... You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
Romans 14. i'm not *against* Sunday obviously because it has been that way for a long time and works out just fine but it's not like you're thrown into the ninth circle if you pick another day, or pick it less frequently. i think discussing these laws in a legalistic manner like has been done in this thread isn't conductive to what i understand Christ taught - faith above law, washing the inside of the cup before the outside.
> 2176 The celebration of Sunday observes the moral commandment inscribed by nature in the human heart to render to God an outward, visible, public, and regular worship "as a sign of his universal beneficence to all."109 Sunday worship fulfills the moral command of the Old Covenant, taking up its rhythm and spirit in the weekly celebration of the Creator and Redeemer of his people.
