[edit] Catholics

The catholic explanation of this is simply wrong. It does contain a mention of 1 document, which is not cited, but it is not a catholic understanding of salvation. I will try to make time to write an explanation of this. In short, the plan of salvation extends to all people. If you do not know the catholic church is necessary for salvation, you have no guilt, and therefore salvation is open to you even outside the physical confines of the church.

I agree with this. This should be replaced with a brief summary of the view of the Catholic Church, as expressed in the Catechism. JChap 16:01, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

i was really surprised to read this today. I was sure that the Catholic view was that the unbaptized go to hell. isn't that how the doctrine of limbo became so popular? Maybe my information is out of date. Weren't these doctrines revised in 1966, Vatican II?-ErinHowarth (talk) 23:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Muslims

The Muslim guy whose article is linked to is completely wrong. Anyone who is at all familiar with Aquinas knows that Catholics do believe that God is Jesus. Also a quick glance at the wikipedia article will tell you that the Gospel of the Nazarenes is very like the Gospel of Matthew. The Quran says that people who worship something besides God will go to hell along with what they worship ^{[Qur'an 21:98]} (so Jesus is in hell by the way). What a joke.

Although it might appear to be inconsistent, I do not believe that the Muslims not view Christians as polytheists. Muhammed considered Jews and Christians to be in a class apart from the pagans of his days, and I think most Muslims continue in this vein. -ErinHowarth (talk) 23:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Protestants

I found the section on Protestants completely incomprehensible. As it is written today, it seems to skirt the questions entirely. Maybe if you are a Protestant, it makes sense, but I hope someone can re-write it so that it clearer and to the point. -ErinHowarth (talk) 23:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
