Getting into heaven is not dependent on uttering some sacred password, but in doing the will of God.
Why would the mercy of Christ cause anyone any angst or worry or rob them of peace?
I don’t understand why you would freak out if God chooses to save somebody, when it should be cause for rejoicing.i just need to know that does the Catholic Church say that muslims and other non Christians go to heaven even if they are left unrepentant and still deny Jesus as God cause this goes completely against what the Bible says which goes against what the true Church would say im sorry im just kinda freaking out now

How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers? Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body:
#847Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.
This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:
#848Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation.
“Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men.”
The proper answer, I think, is “We don’t really know.” God loves all His people, but if you reject His love, then He will give you what you want most - that is, not Him.can you answer this question for me according with Church teaching if a muslims dies without ever being baptised or proclaiming Jesus as Lord will they go to hell to heaven

I hope you are at peace in mind now. I too would have been startled if I thought that, but rest assured The Church is redeemed and Her people only through Jesus and what He did on the Cross.sow what you all are saying and what the Church is saying is that muslims who have not heard of Jesus go to heaven cause i believe that but what i thought it was saying is that you dont need Jesus to go to heaven and that startled me
Well, you are correct in believing that Jesus opened the door to heaven, and anyone who enters heaven does so only through His mercy and grace. But a Muslim might have heard of Jesus and rejected Him as the Son of God, and can still be given eternal salvation, again through the merits and grace of Jesus.sow what you all are saying and what the Church is saying is that muslims who have not heard of Jesus go to heaven cause i believe that but what i thought it was saying is that you dont need Jesus to go to heaven and that startled me
The Catholic Church does not say if a person goes to heaven or hell, God says if a person goes to heavern or hell.i just need to know that does the Catholic Church say that muslims and other non Christians go to heaven even if they are left unrepentant and still deny Jesus as God cause this goes completely against what the Bible says which goes against what the true Church would say im sorry im just kinda freaking out now
Do you have any document or sources you can cite that supports this position? [More specifically on where one who has heard of Jesus and rejected Him as the Son of God can be given eternal salvation.]Well, you are correct in believing that Jesus opened the door to heaven, and anyone who enters heaven does so only through His mercy and grace. But a Muslim might have heard of Jesus and rejected Him as the Son of God, and can still be given eternal salvation, again through the merits and grace of Jesus.
In heaven, the happy will be in the company of atheists and agnostics and animists and Protestants and Mormons and Muslims and Jews and Buddhists and Hindus, and even Catholics.

Well, I believe the difference is that hearing the truth and not believing it is the truth, is not the same thing as knowing the truth and rejecting it.impossbile if they have heard of the Christian way and still deny Jesus as Lord then they condemn themselves to hell

Good points.The clear CAtholic teaching is that the judgment is reserved to Jesus Christ, and that He will exercise it open only at the end of the time.
The Church made some declaration about people who are in heaven, but never declared any individual to be damned.
We know that the the hell exist, and it populated not only by the the evild spirits but also with human souls (who will be risen for the eternal damnation), but we do not get any revelation which humans, individuals or groups are damned to hell.

Excellent summary, thistle. Whenever anyone claims to know that whole groups of people are damned, what really comes to mind are the pious pharisees who would throw stones at the unclean Samaritans if they happened to wander into town, having the peace of mind that their tosses were sacred, but then there’s the parable of the Good Samaritan who stopped to give aid to a stranger in need while the pious avoided him.Outside the above four forms of baptism there is no salvation.
