God includes Muslims in His plan of salvation according to the Catholic Catechism (para. 841). This paragraph states that the Muslims "together with us adore the one, merciful God", in spite of the fact that the Quran declares that the God of Islam did not have a son (Surah 4:171).

The Roman Catholic church pronounced over 100 curses on those (Protestants) who oppose their doctrines.
This occurred at the Council Of Trent in the 16th century...search for the word anathema.
It was ratified at Vatican Council 11 in the 1960s...page 164, para. 51 and page 242, para. 55.
Nothing has changed...see Has Roman Catholicism Changed? and the 1998 Papal statement Faith And Reason.
The Creed By Pope Pius IV is the official Roman Catholic confession of faith and clearly outlines the unscriptural doctines of Catholicism and that there is no salvation outside of Rome and its Traditions.

Roman Catholicism is a false gospel in which Catholics:
1) Have no understanding of salvation. (The teachers of the false gospel of Catholicism are condemned by Gal 1:8-9).
2) Don't believe that faith and repentance alone will bring forgiveness and eternal life, but that a non existent Purgatory may be necessary to cleanse them (Catechism, para. 1030).
3) Are encouraged to pray to Mary and other dead Saints which is the occultic sin of Spiritism (See Deu 18:9-13).
4) Call Mary 'Mediatrix' and 'Advocate' in direct contradiction of God's word in 1 Tim 2:5 (Catechism, para. 969).
5) Worship the Eucharist as the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus (Catechism, para. 1374)...blasphemous idolatry.
6) Say that Jesus is immolated (killed as a sacrifice) at each and every mass (Council Of Trent, page 171).
7) Believe that the Eucharist makes reparation for the sins of the living and the dead (Catechism, para 1414).
8) Have a doctrine of works whereby they 'merit' their way to heaven, ignoring Eph 2:8-9.

Catholics are to be loved and guided to the truth, however, Roman Catholicism is a false doctrine to be avoided.
God commands us, "Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil" (1 Thess 5:21-22).
Surely the Reformers are turning in their graves over the unholy Protestant and Catholic alliance.

Please go to The Ecumenical Movement to see how the Pentecostals 'created' the Charismatic Catholics, so providing common ground to bring about their unity.

God calls His people to separation and holiness, not compromise. A very good article on Charles Spurgeon and the subject of separation from error, written by Paul Mizzi, is The Downgrade Controversy.
