Whoa, whoa, whoa.  Is it actually a permitted doctrine in Catholicism  
that faith in non-Christian religions can have salvific power?   
Doesn't that explicitly contradict John 14:6?  Which is *another* of  
what I--brought up in, admittedly, a faith without, to be kind, much  
of a formal intellectual tradition--considered to be one of those  
bedrock passages.
