Actually, Jerome's commentaries on the reason why they are not to be used for the purposes of doctrine were included with translations even up to Trent, approved by Popes. Jerome's view prevailed for centuries, and represents the real consensus of the church, which was, that the apocrypha was to be used for the edification of morals, but not for the purposes of creating doctrine.
When and if a Muslim is saved, he is saved through Jesus Christ only, so don't worry about others.We'll be all Catholic in Heaven.
A blasphemous repetition. A muslim, by definition, does not believe in Jesus Christ, and is therefore damned. The only way a Muslim is saved, is if he ceases to be Muslim and becomes a Christian prior to his death. This is the testimony of all scripture, and cannot be denied.
There is no such "consensus", and certainly the Deuterocanon has been canonical scripture since there was a New Testament canon, so by the time the Council of Orange took place ca AD 400.

Isn't that what the Catechism also teaches? If his works while living imitate Christ, then his conversion has begun by them, and may be sufficient for his salvation, provided that the full conversion occurs before death.
