We never try to convert those who receive (aid) to Christianity but in our work we bear witness to the love of God's presence and if Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, or agnostics become for this better men - simply better - we will be satisfied.

If he does not know any other way and if he has no doubt so that he does not need to search then this is his way to salvation.
