The RCC's view in relationship to Islam.

The RCC teaches in it's CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH under point 841 The Church's relationship with Muslims. " The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims ; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham , and together with us they adore the one,merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day " ( Cathecism Of The Catholic Church, pg. 242-243 )

1 ) Muslims reject core Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, The deity of Jesus, virgin birth, His death on the cross for our sins and his physical resurrection and justification by faith only in Jesus Christ. Scripture teaches that a person must have faith in Jesus Christ and that salvation is only through Him. No one from Islam will get saved so long as they reject who the God of Scripture really is. Salvation is through Jesus Christ only which is the all important factor here.

John 14:1;6 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

2 ) Islam does not have the same the same God as Abraham in Scripture since it reveals God as the Holy Trinity. It is on this basis that Islam has a false god that is not the God of Scripture.

3 ) Since Islam denies the correct view of God in Scripture they do not adore God together with us at all. Protestants, Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox each affirms the doctrine of the Trinity while Islam does not.

4 ) The RCC tries to counter and undermine the unity of salvation in  the OT and NT by appealing to the Old Testament times when the Trinity was not fully revealed as it is in the New Testament. Roman Catholics would claim OT saints were saved without knowledge of the Trinity and apply those OT conditions in to the NT. They do this in order to make the plan of salvation to include Muslims and others who reject the Trinity and embrace false religions during the present dispensation of the grace of God.This strongly implies different ways of salvation in Roman Catholic theology. So a correct single manner of salvation will be presented by me. In all dispensations man is reconciled to God in only one way, i.e. by God's grace through the work of Jesus Christ that was accomplished on the cross and vindicated in His resurrection. Before the cross man was saved on the basis of Christ's atoning sacrifice to come, through believing the revealation thus far given to him. Since the cross man has been saved by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom revelation and redemption are consummated.

5 ) Those of Islam will not be saved and be judged according to what light that has been given to them and shall remain lost based on Romans 1 to 3. As long as a person does not come to faith in Jesus Christ they will remain in a state of eternal condemnation. Jesus Christ on the basis of the work of the cross is the specific object of faith and of which we are held accountable for as his work is a completed fact done at the cross.
