One of the most misunderstood doctrines, inside the Church and out, is what "No Salvation outside the Church" means. Are all Protestants going to hell?

If the Sacraments are a gift, and Baptism is a Sacrament, then how should this form our conscience as Christians? The Little Flower, Thérèse of Lisieux, gets a shout out in joyful conversation.
