It clearly states this...
“The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator” before the part about the Muslims. So if you acknowledge the Creator, you are on the plan of salvation.

Good enough for me!

So just "acknowledging the Creator" is enough to end up in heaven, and thus all muslims are saved?

That part of the RCC catechism is inconsistent with Scripture and antithetical to the words of Christ.

"I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them." -- John 17:9-10


"Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture...

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

I and my Father are one." -- John 10:7-9;25-30

The catechism of the RCC makes a point of extending salvation to the muslims, while at the same time affirming that Trent "summarizes the Catholic faith," which as you know, anathematizes all Christians who believe in justification by faith in Jesus Christ alone.

I appreciate your ecumenical sentiments, but they are not affirmed in the catechism of your church, nor in these recent remarks by Benedict.

So then is your Creator's name "Allah"???
