And what about Native Americans, who never even heard of Christ until after missionaries arrived? Were they, for more than a millenium, being born just to be damned?

As for your Native American statement. How are you so sure they didn't worship the same God we do, only in other forms as well. Besides, God states in his Bible that he is all around you. Just look, and you shall see, of course it won't be so obvious. However, most of you need evidence that you can conduct experiments on, so I won't bother trying to explain why I think God's all around.
Mainstream christianity teaches that salvation is through faith in Christ. Name a single native american tribe who worshiped anything like Jesus. As for whether they worship the same God, the religions are generally utterly different (and often animist/polytheist).

So, in short Barlow, you're saying that you believe that salvation is not through Christ (or not only through Christ)?
