My Soul is doing just fine, thank you very much for asking

Ever since my Musing on Conversion post the other day I have received a number of emails from well meaning friends concerned that my decision would lead me to lose my soul when final judgment came. I just wanted to outline why I don't feel this is not the case. Some of this might be distasteful to some Catholics, if you are easily offended by discussions of conversion

  1. A Christian is a Christian, this includes Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, and even Baptists (horror of horror, I know).
  2. (This is controversial, I know) A pius, good person of a non-Christian Religion is more likely to go to heaven then an evil person who is a Christian

The way I see the bulk of people in this world stay in the religion they were born into their entire lives. Even those that Convert, generally do so within levels of orthodoxy. This bulk condemning of folks based on their heritage is counter to what I believe about G_d.

I'm, from an Irish heritage, it's ridiculous to believe that if some distant relative of mine was born a few hundred miles north making me an Anglican, I would be on my way to Hell with no other factors considered..
