We have not called him a saint nor do we plan to pray to him.. BUT I will say that He proclaimed Christ as Savior and Lord.. something Mother Teresa never did ...

Capital H on "He," the pronoun indicating Calvin? Mercy! So, Mother Teresa never proclaimed Christ as Lord and Savior? Really? Do you have a source for that remarkable statement?

Ohh please Judith is that the best you can do..pick on my typos ? I hunt and peck ...

"These people are waiting to die. What are you telling them to prepare them for death and eternity? She replied candidly, 'We tell them to pray to their Bhagwan, to their gods.'"

Mother Teresa said in another letter: "The damned of hell suffer eternal punishment because they experiment with the loss of God. In my own soul, I feel the terrible pain of this loss. I feel that God does not want me, that God is not God and that he does not really exist."

In her book, Life in the Spirit: Reflections, Meditations and Prayers, sThe six steps to peace taught by Mother Teresa are silence, prayer, faith, love, service, and peace. For anyone who was unsure of what they believed, she suggested starting with small acts of love towards others. She includes three pages of sample prayers and prefaces them by saying that if you are not a Christian you could replace the name “Jesus” with “God.” (Page 35). Through the entire book there is never a hint that she relies on Christ alone for her salvation. Rather we read things like, “I’ve always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic” (Page 31).In 184 pages, there was nothing stating that salvation was through Jesus alone.

"Mother" Teresa was both a pantheist and a Universalist -- Universalists maintain that Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and other non-Christians can get to heaven without saving faith in Christ; they are those who believe that all who sincerely follow their own religions or beliefs will be saved. "Mother" Teresa told Muslims and Jews that they worship the same God that Christians worship.

As best I can tell this nonsense originated on a site that cannot be linked on FR.

Some seem to think that there is some magic to saying the EXACT PHRASE, "I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior." If this is said publicly a person is saved no matter what they do, if it is never said publicly the person is damned. To them it's a lot like Dorothy saying, "There's no place like home" and clicking her heals to get back to Kansas.
