That's a very good question BengalBuck. I don't think any of us can profess to know what exactly God will do, or who he will give salvation. We know from the Bible what we should do. However, none of us can earn salvation. This is a gift God chooses to give to us.
I feel comforted knowing that God will always do what is righteous. It reminds me of the example of Abraham when he was talking to God, and kept asking if there were only a certain amount of righteous people in a city of evildoers would he do what's right and not destroy the good people. He started with a large number and kept asking God using a smaller and smaller number, and each time God said he'd do what's right. This interests me, because although we don't know who will get slavation, we know God will do what's right. Only God can read our hearts, and know the 'inner person.' I truly believe God will do what's right and save those who have good hearts, regardless of what doctrine they happen to follow.
Now I'm not trying to be too general and say all religions are pathways to the same God. I would have no way to know this, although I find it hard to believe it's is true. All I know is that God will do the right thing, and save good-hearted people, and this comforts me immensely.
Hope to hear the rest of your views!
