WCF 25.2
The visible Church, which is also
catholic or universal under the Gospel
(not confined to one nation as before
under the law), consists of all those
throughout the world that profess the
true religion; and of their children: and
is the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ,
the house and family of God, out of
which there is no ordinary possibility
of salvation.
