You continue to ignore that I'm talking about the ignorant muslim,hindu etc.. who has never heard of Christ and loves unconditionally,thus due to the law of love they are abiding in Christ and CAN be saved because they are not specifically rejecting Him because either their mullahs won't allow them to know about Christ or they die in some remote part of the world before being presented the Gospel

God loves us. It is unconditional, but to be with Him we must accept His rule. And that rule is: Jesus is the only way to be with Him.

Perhaps you can show how an infant child can be saved by accepting this "rule" since the child is unable make such a decision?

The same goes for those who love unconditionally and have never heard of Christ -they are like little children in the eyes of God

I hope you're not going to tell me that infant children are in hell ?

I ignore that because - as I have pointed out - the Scripture you quote to support your position was WRITTEN FOR BELIEVERS! It was sent to fellow Christians, and tells how they are to relate to each other in their churches. It does NOT apply to non-believers.

And friend, you are seriously misled if you think Muslims are ignorant of Jesus. They know what He did, what He taught. They reject His claims as the Son of God, and consider Him just a great prophet.

So you are using writings meant for believers to convey grace to non-believers, and you attribute ignorance to those who are not ignorant. All in an attempt to cover a heresy: Muslims will worship with you in Heaven.

Again, I ask you - how do you reconcile Jesus' claim that HE is the way, the truth, and the life and that NO ONE comes to the Father but through Him?

Jesus claimed it, not me. His words, not mine. All judgment rests with Him.

The same goes for those who love unconditionally and have never heard of Christ -they are like little children in the eyes of God

You know this - how? Scripture please. And note that this does NOT apply to Muslims. They know of Jesus. How does Catechism 841 reconcile with your claim here?

I hope you're not going to tell me that infant children are in hell ?

John 3:16-18. Read the Word of Christ, rather than the Catechism. It is very explicit, very direct, and without error.
