Thanks, Mrs. D. I have read the links. It does appear that those who don’t know to be joined to the Catholic Church are not held accountable for their lack of knowledge. That allows acceptance for a large number of non-Catholics, apparently.

Nice to hear from you again, xzins.

I think the underlying reality is "The Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7)
