Pagans don't have the scriptures. You do. You should follow them rather than the traditions of men (Matthew 15:3). I don't equate what pagans do to what Catholics do, (and I don't know you personally, so I'm not judging you personally), but salvation doesn't get graded on a curve; either you are saved or not, and although there may be different levels of reward and condemnation, it all comes down to your faith.
If Christ thinks you believe in Him that's good enough for me, but I honestly worry about my Catholic friends, family, and neighbors because it's very easy in Catholicism to get caught in grave heresies. Some are straight from paganism when Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire, some are from corrupt popes, and some are just from the universal human condition of sinfully thinking you can earn your way into God's favor and heaven through good works. Study the scriptures and let the Spirit lead you into truth.
If anyone -- a priest, a nun, the Pope, Trump, or even myself -- tells you something contrary to Scripture, they're wrong. Period. For centuries, priests discouraged their congregations from reading the scriptures and men were even burned at the stake for putting scriptures into the hands of lay people. Why? Because the scriptures challenge some key doctrines and practices of Catholic Church.
