And the nutty thing is that no seriously taken leader of any sect, Roman Catholicism, Orthodoxy, or Protestants hold that the others are hell bound.
For example, I do not believe for a minute that Mary popped down into a cave outside of Mexico and told the Indians they should be catholic. No more than I believe Jesus did the north American tour as the Mormons say.
But though I do not believe it, I do believe those Mexican Indians belong to Christ. I cannot see why this topic generates such heat, and little light. None of the leaders advocate it except the nutty fringe.

Would you explain WHY they call their preacher "Father" in relationship with what
Jesus said in Matthew 23:9 ?
Would you explain WHY Catholics
"think to change times and laws" and WHY
Catholics worship against Our Heavenly Fathers Commandmants of
Keeping the Sabbath and worship on "The Day of the Sun" ? (
Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. XIV, p. 335)
Do you know the HISTORY of the Catholic Church, that it CAUSED many to be KILLED for KEEPING our
Heavenly Father's Commandment of Keeping the Sabbaths?
Have you not read of The Council of Laodicea? (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1899 Edition, Vol. XXIII, page 654)
(Council of Laodicea, c. A.D. 337, Canon 29, quoted in C.J. Hefele, "A History of the Councils of the Church," Vol. 2, p. 316)
Do you not know what
your church did to people they called "Heretic! You are anathema!?
LITTLE FLOCK
OF HERETICS?
Jesus prophesied that His Church would be a little flock (Luke 12:32) that would undergo persecution. They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service (John 16:2).
He also said,If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you
(John 15:20).
This would continue right up to the time of His second coming. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My names sake (Matthew 24:9).
The Catholic Church LEADS PEOPLE INTO HELL !
WAKE UP and GET OUT OF THAT SATANIC CHURCH !

I think part of it is that it’s easier to lure someone to your church if they are already Christian than it is to actually go out and evangelize non-Christians. So churches are cannibalizing each other as an easy way out.
