The difference is that 841 is among the paragraphs addressing the Church and non-Christians and it begins with:

839 "Those who have not yet received the Gospel are related to the People of God in various ways."

Oh that sounds good, but it doesn’t hold up to someone with basic reading skills. Apparently you have not read ccc 839-841.

“841 The Church’s relationship with the Muslims”

Your right about the Jewish and Gentile non believers in ccc 839-840, but sorry 841 is specifically addressing muslims.

841 makes a joining statement for only believers. The wording references the faith of Abraham who adore the “ONE” merciful God mankind’s judge. Then we have the comment “together with us” that us part is the “believers” as you call them.

That faith of Abraham is the faith in the seed which is the Messiah Jesus Christ. I got a news flash islam does NOT accept Jesus Christ as the Savior. Jesus said Himself that the only way to God is through the Lord Jesus Christ and the Judge will be Jesus Christ Himself.

What I find interesting is that only the rc believer and muslim seems to have “the so called faith of Abraham” in 841 not the Jew or Gentile non-believer. Either way the rcc must have a special relationship with the muslim since your popes seem to like to kiss the quran and make covenants with them.
