Of the Abrahamic religions, theologically speaking Christianity > Judaism > Islam. Christians have the full revelation of the nature of God, that is, the Divinty of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Jews have a partial understanding of God, in that the know The Father but deny the Divinity of The Son and Holy Spirit. Muslims have a false, veiled understanding of The Father. Their understanding is so warped that they do not even know His true name YHVH, calling Him allah instead. In addition they deny the Divinity of The Son and Holy Spirit.
For all that, muslim are attempting to render worship to YHVH, to the degree that they understand Him. CCC 841 is basically pointless post-V2 gobbledygook. God's plan of salvation includes all of humanity -- this does NOT mean universal salvation, but rather that God, in some way, provides every person with the opportunity to accept His freely offered grace.
In short, CCC 841 says that God's plan of salvation applies to muslims, as it does to everyone, and that islam is an Abrahamic religion. A pointless reiteration of unrelated points, but hardly the "gotcha" that some Protestants seem to think it is.

I agree the plan of salvation is open to any who places their faith and trust in Christ and Christ alone.
