Four Truths Necessary to Believe for Salvation

1. That God exists.
2. That God rewards the good and punishes the wicked.
3. That there are three Persons in one God.
4. That the Son of God became Man and died for our salvation.

"Souls who depart this life in the state of original sin are excluded from the Beatific Vision of God. (De fide.)" Ludwig Ott, Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, Rockford: Tan, 1976, 112.
