Thats why its best to leave such things to our God

But this dosn't mean we should stop spreading the truth .

Michelina has this right...!!! Read further down the entire section. I got lambated for this entire thing over at christianity.com - the section respects their monotheism, describes that what thruth there is in their religion is good and we should regard what thruth there is (e.g. monotheism) as "preparation" for receiving the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Just as with scripture - always read above and below until the context makes sense and you can answer basic questins like "What is the topic and relevance etc of this teaching and passge."

If i am not mistaken this refers to a Vat II document. It is not saying that Muslims are absolutely saved but a portion below this does deal with the fact that God's grace cannot be restricted by us. That someone - who through "no fault of their own" is ignorant of the Gospel but receives and accepts/cooperates with God's grace it is possible they may be saved. I think this is an attenpt to deal with that objection we hear regarding "What about the person in subsaharan Africa who has never been visited by a missionary - are they going to hell?"

Anyway - hope that helps... if I am mistaken it is only my take on things...

God Bless
