Jews can secure eternal salvation without converting to Christianity, senior Catholic theologians say in a report published yesterday in the latest refinement of their stance on a vexed theological issue.
Addressing a question that has long blighted relations between the faiths, the report also unequivocally says the church should not actively seek to convert Jews, echoing the stance outlined by former Pope Benedict XVI in 2011.
The report, drawn up by the church’s Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, goes further than Benedict, however, in effectively affirming that Jews can be saved independently of Christ.

What do the Holy Scriptures say? John 14:6 Jesus said to them "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me"
Accordingly the teachings of the Church of Rome are not in harmony with the scriptures.
Revelation 22: 19 warns that if we try to remove the words of the scroll or add to them we have no salvation. One then wonders how the Church of Rome will fare under the judgement of God.
