If it happens all the time HERE...and it does...imagine how often it will happen THERE. Especially when you figure we have all of eternity to run into each other.
I, for one, can't wait to worship with you someday, brother. HERE...or THERE.
You reminded me of some Ecclesiological ramblings I once picked up. There is more but this is just one instance of Christianity recognizing redemption over ridicule.
The Roman Catholic Church recognizes that although not what "is right", those outside the Roman Catholic Church are still "right"... all because of God :) Sweet.
Roman Catholic Catechism Article 9.1
Wounds to unity

Where there are sins, there are also divisions, schisms, heresies, and disputes. Where there is virtue, however, there also are harmony and unity, from which arise the one heart and one soul of all believers.271

819 "Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth"273 are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church:
"the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements."
274 Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church.
All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him,275 and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity."276
