    Nice
    My wife often reminds me to be nice and play well with others, one of my harder things to do, as I am fairly "outspoken"

    The same reasons many call the LDS non christian is the same reason that groups call Catholics non christian, so I prefer to stand that people can have a personal relationship in spite of their local churches teachings, some just have a better opportunity.

    And who knows, as my wife ( a saint into herself for putting up with me) reminded me, who knows if they were angels sent to see if I would show hospitality to people in this group. Something she lives by not judging many as much as I do.

    And from actions such as this, often we can find people drawn to us for acting as Christians.

    While I can fault teachings of various groups, if they call upon the name of Jesus, baptise in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
    I can't merely dismiss them because they have accepted perhaps other teachngs of man.

    But that is of course another discussion I normally don't get into.

    And as in school anything over 70 percent is passing, I will take the 95 and be happy. But of course try for some extra credit latter.

    Excellent points. I might add that our (Roman Catholic) own Catechism's language about "who is saved" teaches that it's not like the old [and mostly mis-quoted] attitude of "there is no salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church".

    In fact, many Catholic's themselves are oft surprised when they come across a section (of the Catechism) like this example. [Some may need to sit down for the part about Muslims]
