You cannot deny that Jesus has atoned for the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2 and be saved. The fact that Jesus is the savior of the whole world is the foundation of the Gospel. If Jesus did not atone for the sins of the whole world then Jesus is not Lord and should be removed from his position at the right hand of God as the, "King of Kings and the Lord of Lords" Revelation 19:16. God accepted Jesus back into heaven because he had victoriously defeated sin, death and the devil. When God accepted Jesus back into heaven we were accepted in him.
"And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of the openly, triumphing over them in it" Colossians 2:15.
God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ, Acts 2:36 and has seated him at his own right hand in heaven, Hebrews 1:3. To not believe this is to deny the Lordship of Jesus Christ. If Jesus had not victoriously defeated sin, death and the devil no one could be saved, because our humanity was constituted in him. In our name and on our behalf, Jesus has victoriously fulfilled all of the demands of God's holy law, Matthew 5:18. In our name and on our behalf Jesus has victoriously atoned for our sins and the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2. This is why Paul said,
"And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power" Colossians 2:10.
God now sees us as perfect and complete in Christ. Isn't that where you want to be? If God does not see you as perfect and complete in Christ, you are lost. This is how God has chosen to save us. This is God's plan of salvation. Jesus is God's new Adam and our new humanity, 2 Corinthians 5:17. Jesus has come into the world to embrace our humanity, perfect it and take it back to heaven.
"And has raised us up together and has made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" Ephesians 2:6.
No one needs to be predestinated. No one needs to join the Catholic church. All one needs to do is to have simple child like faith in Christ and his Gospel.
