The Catholic church teaches that belief in the Trinity is required in order to be saved and anyone who doesn't believe in the Trinity is a heretic and is eternally damned.

Is this true?

Setting aside for a moment whether this doctrine is even true or false, let's simply look at the "requirement" claim in the light of salvation.

According to His Word, "Yahweh" is the ONLY name that SAVES (see here). It is NOT belief in a Trinity, but belief in or calling on the One True God, YHWH (Father OR Son). Yahweh is the name of BOTH the Father AND the Son. It is their family name and we who are saved, will also be given that same name. (see here)

We have the Word of Yahushua, the Son of Man on the cross between two thieves as proof.

And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be the Messiah, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear Elohim [God], seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Yahushua, Rabbi, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Yahushua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee To day, shalt thou be with me in paradise. Luke 23:39-43 [ed. corrected by relocating the comma]. "and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'" Luke 23:43 (Young's Literal Translation)

The saved thief was not baptized, didn't complete a course or catechism, didn't sign a profession of faith, didn't believe any Trinity doctrine, was not even taught any Trinity doctrine. He "ONLY" professed faith in the Son. This is absolute proof that the trinity doctrine (even if it were true, but it is not) is NOT required for Salvation.

The Bible does NOT teach anywhere that belief in a Trinity is required for salvation, or even that it will help reach salvation. Anyone making that claim is lying. (the Bible doesn't even teach the doctrine of the Trinity, but we will get to that).
