You should tell me who this Catholic is. I'll talk to him. As
far as I know, Most Catholics believe that:
1. Not everyone are Christians, but he who does the work of God and
walks in the light of truth.
2. While a person doesn't need to know Christ on his earthly life
to be saved, if he has lived according to the "truth written in his
hearts", He will accordingly recognised Jesus at the "Judgement "
and cry out "My Lord, it is you I have been seeking all my life."
And Jesus will say, "I know, for you fed me when I was hungry, and
you clothed me when I was naked" Then the person will say, "When
did I ever do that?" And Jesus will say, "Whenever you did this to
the least of my brothers, You did it to me". All Goodness comes
from God. And apart from God, nothing Good can come. If a
non-Christian lives in the "truth" and does God, it is because he
has, by reducing his own pride, allowed the Holy Spirit to fill him
without knowing it. Thus while he does not know it, he walks in the
light.
3. We do not believe everyone will be saved.
4. We believe that Evangelism is necessary because Satan prowls
around like a lion, seeking to devour the souls of men. If we do
not evangelise, they will be misled and made to seek their own
pleasures over "what is right and true" - the law written in their
hearts. As a result, on the Day of Judgement, they will, together
with Satan, say, "I will not serve you." and again, "I do not need
God", not knowing that the absence of God, is eternal torment. For
if God is everything Good, the absence of God is the absence of
anything at all that one can find comfort in. It's worse than an
everlasting fire.
5. Christ is the only way to Salvation. If Christ had not come down
and atoned for sins on the cross, no man can ever be saved.
Christ's atonement was made for all time - the past, the present
and the future. Abraham and Moses could not be saved, if Christ did
not atone for all of mankind. Christ's sacrifice transcends
time.
Tell me who leh. I will wake up his idea.
