Abdul Hakeem Omalay raised a GOOD POINT. He said,
Pope Says The Non-Christians Can Be Saved Even Without Biblical Faith
Pope says Faith in Christ is NOT Necessary to Salvation! Nonbelievers Too Can Be Saved, Says PopeCode: ZE05113005 | Date: 2005-11-30Refers to St. Augustine's Commentary on Psalm 136(137)VATICAN CITY, NOV. 30, 2005 (Zenit.org)...

THE POPE is RIGHT: NON-CHRISTIANS can also be SAVED.
HERE is what the CATECHISM of the CATHOLIC CHURCH SAYS about that:
ARTICLE 847
Those 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. (337 LG 16; cf. DS 3866-3872.)
IT is CLEAR that SALVATION can also be had by "[t]hose who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church."
So, IT IS FOR THOSE who DO NOT KNOW about CHRIST or the CHURCH.
.
.
.
NOW, how about those who KNOWINGLY and WILLINGLY REJECT CHRIST or TURN their BACKS on the LORD JESUS CHRIST and HIS CHURCH? WILL THEY be SAVED?
THIS is WHAT JOHN 3:16 and 18 SAY.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
"He who believes in Him is not judged;
"HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE HAS BEEN JUDGED ALREADY, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
.
.
.
JOHN 3:18 refers to THOSE who have HEARD ABOUT the LORD JESUS and DID NOT ACCEPT HIM. THEY have CONDEMNED THEMSELVES.
Now, WHAT ABOUT THOSE--like the BALIK ISLAM--who have BEEN CHRISTIANS but then TURNED THEIR BACKS on the LORD JESUS CHRIST?
THESE PEOPLE, like the BALIK ISLAM, will SUFFER a FAR WORSE FATE meant for those who ALREADY CONDEMNED THEMSELVES to HELL. THEY have ASSURED their ENTRY INTO ETERNAL DAMNATION.
