Tris, I don't know your friends, so can't speak to their beliefs. I will, however, strongly second the comments about post-Vatican II RC beliefs - I'm a post V-II'er myself. Also the stuff about blanket-statementing christians being about as useful and accurate as blanket-statmenting americans or europeans is very very true.
I will confess that I find the idea of a sincere belief in 'good people going to hell if they don't believe as I believe' is as foreign and mind-boggling to me as... a sincere belief that we all descended from clams and Xenu is out to get us. I just don't get it.
