I scrutinized the Catechism looking for those obvious “gotcha” moments where I could say, “see, not Christian!

Took me about 5 minutes.

Start with Mohammedans worshiping the same God. That is a good jump off point.

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

Of course he had to avoid the context of that cut-n-paste to make it work.

The REST of the story:

The Church and non-Christians

839 “Those who have not yet received the Gospel are related to the People of God in various ways.”

How is anything in that not Christian?
