Is faith necessary for salvation

Yes. The bible says, "Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God."

When Mother Teresa died, her longtime friend and biographer Naveen Chawla said that he once asked her bluntly, "Do you convert?" She replied, "Of course I convert. I convert you to be a better Hindu or a better Muslim or a better Protestant. Once you've found God, it's up to you to decide how to worship him" ("Mother Teresa Touched other Faiths," Associated Press, Sept. 7, 1997).

"those cannot be saved, who though aware that God, through Jesus Christ founded the Church as something necessary, still do not wish to enter into it, or to persevere in it." - Vat II


My, was Mother Theresa (now St. Theresa) wise! Why try to convert a "good" muslim or hindu, giving them a chance to reject it? After all, they are just fine on the path they have chosen, right?
