I have been in contact with a Hindu in India. First, he flatly denies that any killing of Christians are going on in India. Secondly, he professes that Hindus do not believe in Jesus and that he again flatly refuses to admit that he will be judged at all. That all is done by karma, not God. Now, is it my duty to point out to this man, that if he denies the most holy Trinity, the act of salvation of Jesus, that he will be judged unfit to enter heaven? And if he may enter with his denial of God as taught by the Church, then why should I stay a Catholic?

This particular question indicates an attitude not unlike that of the elder brother in the parable of the prodigal son. I recommend that you re-read that parable to answer this question. (Pope Benedict XVI also gave a helpful commentary on this parable in his book Jesus of Nazareth.) As for your other question, please see the link below.
