my boss is catholic, I am not although I consider him as a fellow christian even though we may not see eye to eye on some theological matters.
My thoughts are if he reads the Bible and has a relationship with God then that is what counts over and above what religion he was brought up in. The same for my mormon neighbours.
for some people they have never known anything else. some religions are only running because people have a family obligation to go. The invitation to know Jesus is always there.
I know several ex-catholics that would sneak out of the catholic church attend somehwhere different that was NOT catholic cos they know that if they told their families or questioned its teachings they would be punished. quite severely, but the same thing can happen in other denominations.
