“For starters is she even a Christian?

If not God won’t forgive her even if she dies a “natural” death.”

Growing up as a Catholic, I remember being taught that non-Catholics wouldn’t attain salvation.

I don’t belong to the Catholic Church anymore and this sanctimonious attitude is one of many reasons. We don’t know what criteria God will consider when we appear before Him for judgment. Suicide may be a sin, but is it possible God will look at our lives as a whole and put more emphasis upon the good we have done?

As a Christian I have to go with what Scripture teaches. We are all sinners. Jesus died for our sins. If I believe that and repent of my sins I will be saved. No "good works" I do will earn my way into Heaven.
