Stfassisi's hypothesis is a muslim who loves unconditionally.
I suggest that no one can love unconditionally unless GOD has given him grace to do so. And whatever the profession of the person to whom such a gift might be given, the gift comes from the Father through Jesus in the Spirit.So there is no talk about someone coming to God through some way other than Jesus. It is always IHS who saves; there is no other savior.

God sends His Spirit to anyone He desires,not who WE think does not deserve the Holy Spirit. All TRUE love is from God.Period!

That is my understanding as well! There is one way to salvation, Jesus. Those are His clear, explicit, unambiguous Words.
Yet, it seems to run counter to Catechism 841, which specifically states there is salvation for those who acknowledge the Creator. Not Jesus, the Creator.
