Christian unity means everyone enters the Catholic Church through full communion with the Chair of Peter and remains there
In fact that’s exactly how Saint Cyprian of Carthage defined Unity.
Through the Chair of Peter.
Saint Cyprian of Carthage
The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.’ . . . On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. So too, all [the apostles] are shepherds, and the flock is shown to be one, fed by all the apostles in single-minded accord. If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he [should] desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251]).
He wasn’t the only one.
Saint Clement of Alexandria
“[T]he blessed Peter, the chosen, the preeminent, the first among the disciples, for whom alone with himself the Savior paid the tribute [Matt. 17:27], quickly grasped and understood their meaning. And what does he say? ‘Behold, we have left all and have followed you’ [Matt. 19:27; Mark 10:28]” (Who Is the Rich Man That Is Saved? 21:3–5 [A.D. 200]).
The Letter of Clement to James
“Be it known to you, my lord, that Simon [Peter], who, for the sake of the true faith, and the most sure foundation of his doctrine, was set apart to be the foundation of the Church, and for this end was by Jesus himself, with his truthful mouth, named Peter, the first fruits of our Lord, the first of the apostles; to whom first the Father revealed the Son; whom the Christ, with good reason, blessed” (Letter of Clement to James 1 [A.D. 221]).
Saint Cyril of Jerusalem
“The Lord is loving toward men, swift to pardon but slow to punish. Let no man despair of his own salvation. Peter, the first and foremost of the apostles, denied the Lord three times before a little servant girl, but he repented and wept bitterly” (Catechetical Lectures 2:19 [A.D. 350]).
“[Simon Magus] so deceived the city of Rome that Claudius erected a statue of him. . . . While the error was extending itself, Peter and Paul arrived, a noble pair and the rulers of the Church, and they set the error aright. . . . [T]hey launched the weapon of their like-mindedness in prayer against the Magus, and struck him down to earth. It was marvelous enough, and yet no marvel at all, for Peter was there—he that carries about the keys of heaven [Matt. 16:19]” (ibid., 6:14).
“In the power of the same Holy Spirit, Peter, both the chief of the apostles and the keeper of the keys of the kingdom of heaven, in the name of Christ healed Aeneas the paralytic at Lydda, which is now called Diospolis [Acts 9:32–34]” (ibid., 17:27).

Love how the "no salvation outside the church" guys get furious when I point out that people outside the church are not saved.
By the way, I have never been an "all people go to heaven" sort of guy.
I never knew this was possible but the SSPX have created a religion that will necessarily damn all of its members. @poperespecter1 was offering a kindness by pointing this out. I’ve seen countless people dunk on him with a screenshot without tagging him or reposting the original tweet. This guy spends all day countering propaganda. Yes Muslims and others outside the visible membership can be saved by Jesus Christ through his one Church.
You can blasphemy Christ and be saved. I cannot say that being a member of the Reformed Church, the Church of Satan, or the Temple of Set will damn a person like being a member of the SSPX necessarily will.
Children who are born into schism through no fault of their own are not guilty of that sin like Orthodox and many Protestants today.
SSPX call the Pope the Supreme Pontiff, pray for his intentions but disobey him into schism. They pray for his intentions, but do not listen to his actual commands.
Children born into SSPX will believe the Catholic Church necessary for salvation and that they are outside of this one Church. Refusing to enter or remain in the Catholic Church when you know it’s necessary for salvation will damn you to eternal fire. This is infallible dogma of the Catholic Church.
The SSPX will curse their children who are born into schism through no fault of their own by also making them aware of the necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation.
Mary Mother of God pray 🙏 for the SSPX members to leave their abominable religion and return them to the sacred heart of your Son Jesus Christ in full communion with the Catholic Church which they know is necessary for salvation and thus the very thing that damns them by infallible Catholic dogma.

Luke 3:16
“John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.”
The parallel verse is found in Matt 3:11.
When John says there will be One who baptizes with the Holy Ghost and with fire, he referring to the New Covenant in Christ; where one is truly saved by the Spirit, or truly condemned by the fire. John isn't revealing a new baptism.. He's revealing a New Covenant. All baptisms in the Bible are water baptisms, and as such are baptisms into the New Covenant through water and the Spirit, just as Christ explained to Nicodemus regarding the necessity of water baptism, or baptismal regeneration.
The early Fathers, taught by the Apostles, all taught water baptism, or baptismal regeneration as the means of salvation into the spiritual life of Christ. None taught a new baptism that Protestants have reinterpreted the passages to mean today.
There for, e water baptism is baptism in the Spirit.

We Catholics accept the trade offer proposed by Mormons to go from white Islam to Protestantism
When I call Mormonism Protestant, I’m using the term scientifically to describe its roots and its pattern of religious dissent.
The Latin protestari means to declare publicly or testify. You proclaim a restoration while protesting the authority and teachings of existing churches.
Joseph Smith’s account says “all their creeds were an abomination in his sight” (Joseph Smith—History 1:19).
Your own Church’s history acknowledges that early Mormons included former Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists, and other Protestants.
My argument is that Mormonism extended that rejection of existing church authority to the Reformers themselves. Calling it a “restoration” doesn’t erase the Protestant religious world from which it emerged.
You’re protesting the other Protestants too. That is the Protestant thing to do. Start a new Church because everyone else got it wrong.
No we aren’t. We’ve never protested the Catholic Church. We are a restoration of the original Church of Christ
