What do you think the first thing God will ask you when you
go before Him? Do you suppose He will be concerned about
what denomination you are? What would He ask of an
Atheist or Agnostic? Will He be concerned with whether or
not you accepted His Son, Jesus, as your Lord and Savior?
What will He ask the Jew or Muslim? I am a baptised
practising Catholic! I have accepted Jesus as my personal
Lord and Savior! I believe that the Catholic Church was
established by Jesus Christ and that it is "The One Body of
Christ!" I believe in all the Catholic Church teaches on Faith
and Morality! I struggle every day trying to avoid evil and do
good! I struggle with the Ten Commandments and frequently
break almost all of them! I frequently fall to the sins of the
flesh and the world. I use the Seven Sacraments of the
church, especially Confession and Holy Mass as medicine
and food for the soul. I am working out my salvation with
fear and trembling as Philippians 2:12 tells me. I read and try
to follow the Holy Bible as the Word of God! Yet I know
that this is not enough if I do not have "Love!" How will
God judge me?
Sacred Scripture tells us that God judges the heart of man!
What is He looking for in my heart? Is He looking for a
Catholic, a Protestant or Non-denominational Christian? Or
perhaps a man who can quote Scripture? Or a man who
knows all the Doctrines of the Church? Is He looking for a
Jew or Muslim? No, God is not looking for any of these
things, in and of themselves. God is looking for Love! That
Agape Love that Jesus taught. He is looking for that love that
was freely chosen and not based on emotion! That selfless
love that freely places others before ourselves. That love that
cost us some part of ourselves; Our comfort, our riches, and
even our health and lives!
So we go back to the top of this page and answer the opening
question; What do you think the first thing God will ask you
when you go before Him? I am convinced that reguardless of
your denomination, the first thing God will ask, as He reads
your heart is, "How did You Love?"
The Catholic Church teaches that "Outside the Church,
there is no Salvation." She Also teaches that those men of
good will, who through no fault of their own, have not
become members of the Body of Christ, but sincerely try to
obey the Will of God and His Laws as written by Him in their
hearts, those too may achieve eternal salvation. (847 & 337)
This is referred to as "Invincible Ignorance" of the truth, and
God deals with this through His Mercy and Judgement of the
heart. He looks for Love, freely chosen, freely given to
others without conditions! (Unconditional Love)

Catechism of the Catholic Church
Article 1793: If - on the contrary - the ignorance is invincible, or the moral
subject is not responsible for his erroneous judgment, the evil committed
by the person cannot be imputed to him. It remains no less an evil, a
privation, a disorder. One must therefore work to correct the errors of
moral conscience.
