The "Fewness of the Saved"

[jamiec]

The OP is referring to a private revelation which is not officially taught by the RCC.

Officially, we do not know how many are in hell. That is up to God and God alone.

Anyone who claims to know how many are finally saved, or not, is a fantasist or a liar.

Do you believe that folks will be saved who have never even heard the name of Jesus Christ and do not have the tiniest inkling of Christianity?

Most definitely.

Why not ? It is lunacy, and worse, to condemn people for the "sin" of never having been able to hear Christ preached. The overwhelming majority of all mankind, for the last 200,000 years at least, would be done for. Is that the act of a Good, Wise, Merciful, & Righteous God ? It sounds more like the behaviour of a demon or a trickster deity.

Were the Assyrians or Babylonians or the Egyptians saved under the Old Covenant?
