Didn't the Pope say all people worshipped the same God, even if they weren't Christians? Does he think they'll still go to Hell if they worship the same God, but call him by the wrong name?

No, but I feel safe in saying that he wouldn't call people Christians who don't believe Christ is their savior.

The question of the moment is about what is it to be a Christian. That's why your answer regarding Catholics seemed so goofy.

Calling God by the wrong name is not the problem. It's actually worshipping a different entity that's the problem. Nobody who knows the tenets of, say, Islam would claim that they are the same as Christianity. If both claim to have the words of God, then one or both is wrong. As a Christian, I believe the teaching I have received is of course not wrong.
