Bismillah
In Islam we are told that the closest to us in faith are the christians.
I used to be catholic and never heard of catholics believing that muslims go to heaven. Muslims do not believe that Jesus is God. This is a major aspect of faith for getting into heaven in the catholic religion. When I converted, my mother told me that she did not believe that I was going to hell. I pointed out that I did not believe Jesus was God so according to her faith, she had to believe that I was going to hell. I told her that in order to be in a religion you cannot leave the parts you don't like and only accept the parts you do like. That is not belief.
I am not dissing on the catholics for promoting peace. I am all for that. I just have never heard that catholics believe muslims will go to heaven in all my twelve years of private catholic school.
Alhamdulillah
