The priest said that anyone that never knew Jesus through no fault of his or her own goes to heaven if they were NICE people.
Sola Scriptura folks usually say they are toast.
That's because the Bible clearly tells us that no one is "NICE". Romans 3 makes that clear. If you can find a nice, sinless person...yes--they qualify for heaven, and they don't need Jesus because they'll get in on their own merits. But such a person doesn't exist.

Do see the limitations of Sola Scriptura?
First, it summarizes Jesus Christ in a few NT books. Do you honestly believe that is ALL there is to Christ?
Secondly, it places folks like you in a box and the use of reason is not an option.
Thirdly, it makes God looks like a vengeful jealous anal entity that is willing to make toast of the innocent in hell.

I don't get why you would rather believe a guy today over the guy you claim to be your first pope.

It's what the apostles wrote. We are sinners. It's what God has said about us. No pope today can overrule what God has already said through his apostles.

Actually, it makes him incredibly loving and merciful that he's willing to save those that are at war with him.

So..... what are you Calvinists preaching if he doesn't?
To be fair, it's not just the Calvinists who believe that stuff, most conservative Protestants have the same view of non-Christians.
