I do not mean to strike a sour note, but the premise of Christianity is that no one is good enough to stand in the presence of God: "O happy fault, to merit for us so great a Redeemer"....The tradition accommodated the idea of the "Righteous Gentile" in two ways: one, in the conception of the earthly paradise, lit not by the glory of God, but the paler light of Reason; and the other in the conception of invincible ignorance, so that someone prevented from proper Evangelization who made the best of his traditions might be saved. This has been extended beyond its original intention, to include those psycho- socially insulated. C.S. Lewis added the idea that Hell and Purgatory might be the same, only one does not have infinite chances to repent.......
