Do Muslims live by faith in Christ?

No -- I was replying to your statement that It is those who live by faith who are the sons of Abraham. Note that Muslimss follow their book (the Koran) to the T, even when it says that the sun revolves around the earth (and yes the Hadiths do say that) and when it contradicts itself. That is a book with no room for mystery or understanding, it's like the US Tax code -- you get up at 5, 11, 1400, 17:00 and 19:00 and pray. You mumble these words "La illah-allah, muhammad al-rasurillah, shadwan al-rasurillah" and you die and get 72 virgins." --> it's a mockery of devotion to God. And I fear that some protestants fall under or would fall under the same falsehood.

Right now this is what the Catholics are telling me. "It doesn't matter if you believe in the Lord Jesus just so long as you have faith in something." What utter nonsense

And yes, it would be nonsense -- but Catholics aren't telling you that, you misunderstand us badly if you think that. Belief in the Lord Jesus is paramount to The Church.

You Catholics better get your story straight. I would refer you here to the following post where I'm being told otherwise.
