So, CC are trying to say that Shamms’ faith is in vain just because he is not following the Catholic Church?
Not remotely. That was no where near what I said and I fail to see how you could even draw that conclusion.
FHC is right. Christ is the truth and the Catholic Church is the church established by Him. I count Shamms a brother in Christ. We may disagree about theology but that doesn't mean that he isn't a son of God.
God, in his infinite wisdom and grace, can save whoever He chooses. The catch is that everybody is redeemed by the blood of Christ. If an indian in the middle of the Amazon lives a life of faith but never hears the gospel God can surely redeem him by the blood of Christ.
Who am I to say who isn't and who is redeemed?
I don't know whether a Muslim can be saved. If they are, it is only by Christ's work on the cross.
