Well, it's only you protestants and muslims who think they already have assurance of salvation despite any future sins they commit.

Continuing our discussion of interreligious dialogue, today we will reflect on dialogue with Muslims, who “together with us adore the one, merciful God” (Lumen gentium, n. 16; cf. CCC, n. 841). The Church has a high regard for them, convinced that their faith in the transcendent God contributes to building a new human family based on the highest aspirations of the human heart.

2. We Christians joyfully recognize the religious values we have in common with Islam. Today I would like to repeat what I said to young Muslims some years ago in Casablanca: “We believe in the same God, the one God, the living God, the God who created the world and brings his creatures to their perfection” (Insegnamenti, VIII/2, [1985], p. 497).

I guess some popes think they and the Muzzies have a lot in common. I am not sure all the rank and file Catholics do, some might, but I don’t know even one true Christian who does. 👎🙃 On the other hand, I DO know a few ex Muslims. They know what they have been delivered from. There seems to be a growing number of ex Muslims here. Guess what? They are not flocking to the OTC. 😂👍
