I worked with a man who was very religious and very up on the Bible.He is the person to go to when you have a question on the Bible because he can quote chapter and verse,old and new testament.
He and I are of different faiths{ I am Catholic} and he never tried to convert me. He said the same thing you said. It doesnt really matter what faith as long as you accept Christ.
But dont ask him how he feels about Jehovah Witnesses.....

-—It doesnt really matter what faith as long as you accept Christ.-—

I don’t mean to he argumentative, but that’s an important error.

Jesus is Truth Itself, so to be seekers of God we must be seekers of Truth. The closer we are to truth in our moral and intellectual lives, the closer we are to God.

What God wants from us on earth is our best effort at attaining truth, however much we fail. We must also exhort and reprove others, but always in charity. Easier said than done, I know.

Amen!
If anyone truly believes this story, they cannot possibly think that God will look at a Catholic who said a rosary every day, or a Pentecostal who speaks in tongues, or an Evangelical living their lives according to “Left Behind” and say anything less than, “Good job faithful servant.”
