Not believing that God exists, or being of a different faith than Christianity, isn't the same as conscientiously refusing to love Him. We have to first believe He is real before choosing to turn our backs to Him, and theres no way to know who did that. That's why we as Catholics specifically steer clear of assuming any particular person is in Hell. The source you posted itself said that the only beings we can be absolutely sure are in Hell are Satan and his followers. Because we cannot see into a person's heart and know their motives and their intentions and wheher they made a conscious decision to reject God. No where in Catholic teaching will you see it said that non Christians go to Hell. Nowhere. We are specifically not allowed to say that because we simply don't know and it isn't our place to judge the state of another person's soul.
That's the different in faith that make you a Catholic, and me a non Shiite/Sunni Muslim; and draws a line between my opinion and yours.
To you your faith; to me mine.
I didn't talk about judging what in peoples' hearts. I told you in the very first comment here, that I'm not God to know:

I can be of its inhabitants in the afterlife, anybody can, and nobody knows is written for sure to be of its citizens. That's how it is in Islam.
According to Catholic tradition; I assume I want be accepted in heaven too since I don't accept Jesus -peace be upon him- to be the Lord; God.
I don't know if you're ignoring what I write on purpose; like you have a point from doing it; or what.
Quote:No offense, but you are a Muslim living in a Muslim country where Christianity isn't even allowed. I guarantee that i, as a practicing Catholic my whole life, know more about Catholicism than you. As you know more about Islam than me. You don't see me in here trying to teach YOU about the Islam faith, do you? That would be incredibly ridiculous of me.I
I didn't know that discussing my views in here is limited by racial conditions. I see lots of westerners and Americans discussing foreign religions, customs and habits, so I thought it's okay for me to the same.
Thank you for notifying me. If you gathered proper support; you can shut me down for good.
