It is true that prior to Vatican 2 the consensus was that only Catholics went to Heaven. Since then, it has been revised that while everyone in Heaven is Christian/Catholic, it doesn't necessarily mean they were during this life.
I don't know much about Catholism's ins and outs but this sounds like what my Catholic husband said when I asked if he was sad that I won't go to heaven with him. He said that according to the pope anyone that is truly a good person gets to go to heaven regardless of belief. Now I don't know if that is official or that is him making himself feel better about me but it seems to go with what you are saying.
Your husband is correct.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
