they are not saved..and unsaved people always look to make their god as they like him ...
So you can read their hearts, huh?
The arrogance and meanspiritedness of anti-Catholicism is once again revealed for all to see.
I have no dog in this fight, but is this really "arrogance and mean-spiritedness"? Christians as a whole view all non-Christians in this way (as do Muslims of non-Muslims). Belief that one's religion is the only real "ticket to heaven", as another poster put it, leads naturally to believing that one's particular religious denomination is the only true way. Do Catholics believe evangelical Christians have the same ticket to heaven?

Catholics believe non-Catholics can be saved. What is arrogance and meanspiritiedness is to assume people are unsaved just because they went from a newfangled sect created less than 500 years ago to the Church Christ extablished almost 2,000 years ago.
