Exclusivism
is not really about truth claims, but about practice, about living. If
you are living a Catholic life, then you are not leading a Protestant
life; and vice versa - and there are many subdivisions within this.
Each
denomination has a different ideal of how to live, and that ideal is
exclusive - at most you could switch from one to the other, or back and
forth; but that would limit the degree of attainment within any one of
them.
Each
way of life has pros and cons, and would be more or less suitable for
different individuals (who have different faults and abilities); each is
incomplete and distorted - but each could be organized around the same
simple principle. What is it?
As WmJas said: "Faith does not mean “accurate knowledge.” It means
trust. That’s why Christ said little children are capable of it..."
Trust in Christ as Lord and Saviour.
Different ways of life, built around that simple principle.
