First off, let me say that I am using the Catholic portion of the boards for this post because I want Catholic viewpoints. If you are a Protestant, please do not respond to this thread.

What does the Catechism mean when it says that "the plan of salvation also includes muslims" (or whatever the exact quote is)? Does this mean we do not need to convert Muslims because they already worship God? If not, why are the Muslims singled out in the Catechism?

kern,

i answered this question in the other thread (it probably got lost)...the catechism makes a point of mentioning the muslims specifically because people are quick to say they stand apart from everyone else (especially right now).

they are no different than any other faith outside of the teaching of the Church.

will you please provide the exact quote in full so that we can examine it?

God bless you.
