"Lewis was a committed Anglican who upheld a largely orthodox Anglican theology, though in his apologetic writings, he made an effort to avoid espousing any one denomination. In his later writings, some believe that he proposed ideas such as purification of venial sins after death in purgatory (The Great Divorce and Letters to Malcolm) and mortal sin (The Screwtape Letters), which are generally considered to be Roman Catholic teachings, although they are also widely held in Anglicanism (particularly in high church Anglo-Catholic circles). Regardless, Lewis considered himself an entirely orthodox Anglican to the end of his life" (From Wiki)
My own testimony: my older unsaved knowledgable of the Roman Catholic Church he holds as the One True Church (born again Bible Believing Baptist either thoroughly deceived or of the Devil)... Is thrilled with C.S. Lewis in a word Lewis gives him an "evangelicalism" a devote Roman Catholic, passionate for his religion, from the Pope, the Mass, all the way to repeated Rosaries prayed to "Mary" can love and embrace as fellow Catholic minded brethern.
