it is important that each person remain loyal to his or her own faith.

God Himself has made known to mankind the way in which men are to serve Him, and thus be saved in Christ and come to blessedness. We believe that this one true religion subsists in the Catholic and Apostolic Church, to which the Lord Jesus committed the duty of spreading it abroad among all men ... On their part, all men are bound to seek the truth, especially in what concerns God and His Church, and to embrace the truth they come to know, and to hold fast to it. ("Dignitatis Humanae", 1)

What other churches, mosques and temples does "this one true religion" subsist in? Those of the the Hindus, Buddhists, Protestants, Muslims, Jews and Protestants?
