For what it's worth, I read in Bishop's history of the Middle Ages that the medieval view placed the chances of salvation at about 30%. This is among the church-going, pray, pay, and obey medieval culture.
I wish someone made a similar poll among Catholic Christians today. I wouldn't be surprised to see an expectation of near-universal salvation.
What does it tell us? Nothing about the Chrisitsn theology, of course, but a whole lot about the decadent contemporary culture.
That's interesting, thanks. I also agree with you about the results of a hypothetical poll among Christians as to salvation. I'll bet the answers would be nearly identical across different Christian faiths, at least in this country. It is a sad commentary on our culture, or lack thereof. :)
