He did Not say that Only Catholics go to heaven, but Only Catholics will be in heaven.
Some bring up the Good Thief on the cross as an example against the necessity of baptism. But this example fails.

First, the law of baptism, which Jesus made binding on every man, became an obligation after Jesus' Resurrection, when Jesus gave the command to preach the Gospel and to baptize all nations in Matthew 28:20. The Good Thief died under the Old Law, before the Law of Baptism became binding on everyone. Second, the Good Thief did not go to Heaven on the day that Jesus was crucified. We know this because no one went to Heaven until after Jesus had the primacy in all things, as St. Paul says in Colossians 1:18

Jesus didn't ascend into Heaven until after His Resurrection, as John 20:17 proves. So the Good Thief is not an example against the necessity of baptism for salvation. That's why the Apostles' Creed which Catholics recite, correctly states that Jesus was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into Hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead and then ascended into Heaven. He didn't ascend to Heaven until after His Resurrection, and He descended into Hell on the day of His death. What was this Hell? It was Abraham's bosom, the waiting place of the just of the Old Testament. That's where the Good Thief went with Jesus on the day of His Crucifixion; Jesus called it paradise because He would be there.
JESUS SUBMITTED TO BAPTISM TO SHOW ALL MEN THAT IT'S NECESSARY TO BE BAPTIZED.
