Official Catholic doctrine is that those outside the Church who have "perfect contrition" will be saved.
Yes. And since we cannot see into a person's soul, see their motives, their intentions, their thoughts, culpability, etc, we cannot say "Bob went to Hell because he is atheist/Muslim/Jew/whatever else."
"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."
