If it were just a matter of different beliefs about the recipe for a cake I'd agree with you. However Catholics and Other Christians think it is a matter of life and death and the Jesus told us it is our business to let someone on the wrong path know they are heading for the cliff of destruction. If we fail to tell them, their loss is on our head. If we tell them and they continue down the path they are lost, but we are held blameless. The Christian belief is that Jesus, God the Son, is the only way to Heaven. We want others to be in Heaven and thus we are commanded to point the correct way. Christians also believe that all we can do is the pointing but God the Holy Spirit alone opens the hearts and minds That is why we care not about how someone else worships but about just Who they worship. From Mormon doctrine we see that the one they worship is not the same God that promises salvation, but another entity they choose to call by the same name.

Which path works best for you? (just curious, not challenging you).

I repeat. I follow my faith and do not butt into other’s beliefs.
