So if one did not believe in god, yet lived an exemplary life, would they be saved?

mlsoft, The Mother Teresa post was intended to be somewhat sarcastic, and not directed at you specifically. It was my understanding that many Evangelical Christians do harbour ill will toward Catholicism tho. I do not see religious superiority, for any reason, as a particularly "holy" or righteous thing.

With all due respect, the Christian right's interpretation of "saved" seems somewhat ridiculous. Per a literal interpretation, a cold blooded serial killer could go to prison, "find" Jesus (which many of them do) and be saved. While Schneersohn, the Dalai Lama, and maybe Mother Teresa are eternally damned..... That's not a concept that I'd put much "faith" in, but to each his own. :)

<<In reference to Catholics, I think you read much more into my post than was there. I never, at any time, said all Catholics were bound for Hell>>

God in His infinite mercy has created two heavens: one for Baptists and one for Catholics. Each calls the other Hell.
Think about it.
