So you agree with the claim:

“I think all are saved, even you. It matters not to me what you believe, God will welcome you.”?

It is not for me to decide who is saved; if a man claims a relationship with Jesus, that is between him and God. I will not judge a man on this claim. For Jesus’ own words are that it is by FAITH we are saved. It is an entirely HIDDEN relationship that cannot be demonstrated. It is by faith and faith alone.

Do you believe you can discern who is saved and who is not? Does that mean it is actions - works - that save you? That you can determine who will be saved and not simply by the kind of life they live? If so, I have several atheist, Buddhist, and Hindu friends that would put 99% of all self-professing Christians (Catholic and Protestant alike) to shame in their acts reflecting the teachings of Christ.
