Having Non-Catholic and Non-Christian Friends

[marcusO9]

I have non-Catholic friends and non-Christian friends as well. I really love them and they’re really nice. But I can’t get off of my mind that they might go to hell because they don’t following the Catholic or Christian teachings. I don’t want to detach my relationship with them because of this fear. What should I do? What does Church teaching suggest regarding non-Catholics and non-Christians?

 

[John_Martin]

If you look at the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus was not talking to non-christians, to non-catholics, but he was talking to us. Therefore pay attention to how are you are living your life as light and as salt.
People wanted to join with Jesus because they saw him and heard him.

Be the foreigner from heaven’s kingdom so your friends see an alien in their midst and wish, “could I be an alien, too?”

How can you share the faith if you remove yourself from non-believers the Catholic faith is dead if we do so and takes on a cult like persona. Want to know if your in a cult - they separate you from the others and cut off contact.
