Catholics May Not Pray For Deceased Non-Catholics
For more posts
Bro. Peter Dimond
It’s a dogma that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. All who die as non-Catholics go to Hell. Therefore, prayers may not be offered for people who die as non-Catholics. If a person was a non-Catholic or a heretic during life, unless there is evidence of a conversion to the true faith in the external forum, the person is considered to have died as he or she lived (i.e. as a non-Catholic and outside the Church). Therefore prayers may not be offered for a person who, based on the last available evidence, was a non-Catholic or a heretic on the hope that there was a conversion in that person’s final days. Prayers may only be offered for people who die with the true faith. Here are some quotes that reiterate the Church’s teaching that Catholics may not pray for (or consider among the faithful departed) those who die as non-Catholics or without the true faith.
St. Thomas also cites St. Augustine, who taught the same:
In articulating this principle (i.e. that prayer may only be offered for those who have died as true Christians, not for heretics and non-Catholics), Pope St. Gregory II also says that offerings are not permitted for those who die as true Christians (i.e. Catholics) but in a clear state of sin. Thus, to pray for a deceased person, he or she must have possessed the true Catholic faith and not died in mortal sin.
In the following quote, St. Francis Xavier speaks of a pagan privateer who died on their ship. He says that “by his own hand [he] cast his soul into Hell”, and he repeats the principle that prayers must not be offered for people who die outside the true faith.
