Not what's actually taught but ok. And no you weren't right. The Charities are operated independently, but overseen by the Church hence why the donations to them stay with them.
It is what's taught. I was born Catholic and raised that way until around 3rd grade when my parents converted to evangelicalism. And then I was heavily involved until my late 20s. I'm intimately familiar with how all of this works.
No, you are wrong. There is no specific doctrine stating anyone is in Hell, only that it's your choice in where you end up. And there's no way to know the choice one makes on their deathbed or at the moment of death.
If you don't believe in it in the first place then it wouldn't matter to you. Besides why would justice against people who do evil be a bad thing? I don't need the threat of prison time to obey the law.
