Is it true that even today the Roman Catholic Church maintains that non-Catholic Christians cannot be granted salvation?

The Roman Catholic Church is talking about naming Mother Teresa a Saint.  As a believer in Jesus Christ and what He did for us sinners, she is already a Saint. What reason does the Catholic Church give for doing this? What biblical support do they use?

What are the main theological differences between the Lutheran Church and the Roman Catholic Church?

What is limbo and what religious group believes in it? Is it like what Catholics call purgatory?

I have been reading a book that has a section on the Roman Catholic Church in which the author talks about mortal and venial sins. My question is: What do we in the LCMS have to say on the subject or is this something that was made up by the Church in the past? I always understood that sin is sin--period.

What's the Lutheran response to the Roman Catholic teaching of purgatory?

A non-Lutheran Christian friend of mine recently stated that he believes that Catholics are not saved and should not be considered Christians. What is the Synod's belief regarding the salvation of Catholics who adhere to Roman dogma?
