Is She Still Saved?
Q: If a Catholic is baptized, then renounces her religion, is she still saved?
A: Renouncing one’s religion is serious business, but only God knows for certain the various factors involved and whether a person acted with full knowledge and full consent.
If you know someone in this situation, pray for her but not with the fear that she will surely go to hell if she dies without returning to the Catholic Church.
Only God can sort all this out. The Church puts up warning signs for us, but it also asks God to remember: “...all the dead whose faith is known to you alone” (Eucharistic Prayer IV).
