Core tenet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saintsheld by most
Salvation has degrees of glory.
Nearly everyone is saved into something; the question is proximity, not admission.
Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held
Latter-day Saint eschatology is unusually graded: rather than heaven and hell, there are three degrees of glory (celestial, terrestrial, telestial), and nearly everyone receives one of them. Outer darkness is reserved for a very few. The effect is a strikingly universalist afterlife by Christian standards, combined with a strong emphasis on which degree a person is working toward — the stakes are about proximity to God rather than about rescue from damnation.
