I'm Adventist and we don't say Catholics are doomed to hell. Most of my family is Catholic (most Haitians are!) and I don't think they're necessarily going to hell. Everyone is responsible for the light they have received. You are doomed if you don't follow the Word of God that has been
revealed to you. Adventists also believe the body of Christ is made up of some (not all) Adventists
AND Non-Adventists (this includes non Christians as well). See the story of Rahab in the Old Testament.
Now, I wouldn't be surprised if an Adventist, a Baptist, or even if a Non-Denominationalist told you that. Individuals will always have their OWN opinions. That doesn't mean that is the official position of their church.
What you will find is that many Protestant faiths have views on Catholicism (this means the Vatican not the individual believers) and its role in end time prophecy. This interpretation of Revelation and Daniel and the Catholic Church is not unique to Adventists.

Blurb from above link:Thus, while we remain aware of the historical record and continue to hold our views regarding end-time events, we recognize some positive changes in recent Catholicism, and stress the conviction that many Roman Catholics are brothers and sisters in Christ.

I like the idea of non-denominational because the focus is usually placed on worshipping God. I was raised Catholic, but I'm not really feeling most of the Catholic churches I go to. However, I refuse to go to another denomination of church that tells me that just because someone is Catholic, they are already doomed to hell.....and that covers most of the other churches I've visited (Baptist, Adventist, etc.) But the same thing happened to me in a non-denominational church as well though. I think that if a preacher is spending time talking about other denominations, he is taking time away from the focus of the service which is God.
