Both imagining they will enter Heaven by actually becoming good enough ("...we will go to Purgatory first, and then to Heaven after we are purged of all selfishness and bad habits and character faults" - Peter Kreeft, Because God Is Real: Sixteen Questions, One Answer, p. 224; "According to the Quran, Purgatory is a place where the "neutral" souls will be housed temporarily after God's judgement has been issued. These are the souls who did just enough to avoid Hell but not enough to Enter Heaven. They will look at both sides and implore God to not to put them in Hell with the Disbelievers and Hypocrites - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purgatory#Islam)," not by faith by which one is counted righteous, and who thus live it out, with works vindicating them as being saved believers, and fit to be rewarded under grace, though the only thing they really can take credit for is their own damnable sins.

We feel sure that as representatives of Islam, you join in our prayers to the Almighty, that he may grant all African believers the desire for pardon and reconciliation so often commended in the Gospels and in the Qur’an... We gladly recall also those confessors of the Muslim faith who were the first to suffer death, in the year 1848, for refusing to transgress the precepts of their religion.” — Paul VI, address to the Islamic communities of Uganda, August 1, 1969.

I deliberately address you as brothers: that is certainly what we are, because we are members of the same human family, whose efforts, whether people realize it or not, tend toward God and the truth that comes from him. But we are especially brothers in God, who created us and whom we are trying to reach, in our own ways, through faith, prayer and worship, through the keeping of his law and through submission to his designs...
Dear Muslims, my brothers: I would like to add that we Christians, just like you, seek the basis and model of mercy in God himself, the God to whom your Book gives the very beautiful name of al-Rahman, while the Bible calls him al-Rahum, the Merciful One.” - John Paul II, address to representatives of Muslims of the Philippines, February 20, 1981
As Christians and Muslims, we encounter one another in faith in the one God, our Creator and guide, our just and merciful judge. - John Paul II, address to representatives of the Muslims of Belgium, May 19, 1985
We believe in the same God, the one God, the living God, the God who created the world and brings his creatures to their perfection...Both of us believe in one God, the only God, - John Paul II , address to the young Muslims of Morocco, August 19, 1985
Christians and Muslims, together with the followers of the Jewish religion, belong to what can be called ‘the tradition of Abraham.’..Our Creator and our final judge desires that we live together. Our God is a God of peace, who desires peace among those who live according to His commandments. Our God is the holy God who desires that those who call upon Him live in ways that are holy and upright. -John Paul II, address to Islamic leaders of Senegal, Dakar, February 22, 1992 -http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/ecumenical-and-interreligious/interreligious/islam/vatican-council-and-papal-statements-on-islam.cfm

They seem to be going “all in” with the darkness.

More of the union of Catholicism with the evil false god of Islam.

Put out as so wonderful full of balloons and unicorns.

God’s rath is building up and will exhibit itself sooner or later.

How long will He let the blaspheme continue?
