You have been told this you entire life? Really?
In the Apostles Creed we say “I believe in the holy catholic church”
That is Lutheran.
Though whether you believe its catholic (lower case meaning the "entire christian church") or Christian Church (same thing).
I grew up in a Lutheran Church/environment (my mother is Lutheran and my father is Jewish) and we never went down that path you did.

My final reply since you think I am making this up. Wisonsin Lutheran Synod.
My GF is Catholic. I do not believe she will go to hell. But many in my Synod do. That is my question. Grow up people.
APOSTLES' CREED
The Apostles' Creed is a brief statement of gospel truths taught by the apostles. It was not formulated by theologians, but out of the needs of the Christian church. Christians used it to tell others what they believed and also to confess their faith with one another as they met for worship.
APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Already said that. It was all about how it was translated. Not sure why you are so defensive about it, just odd that I never heard that from any part of the Lutheran Church.
We were taught to say "Holy Catholic Church" (We used the Capital Catholic to mean the "First Church". Others definitely use the lower case catholic (my grandparents church) to mean universal church )
