that anybody who leaves the Catholic Church can't get into heaven. So if a person decides to leave the Catholic Church to become a Methodist or a Baptist, they are screwed. But presumably a person who was always a Presbyterian and never a Catholic is OK because he didn't leave the Catholic Church (other than the entire protestant army walking out on the Catholics, of course.)

And if I was born into a Pastafarian family, I guess I could end up in Heaven.

The rules are ever so confusing.
