Roger, it seems as though we are having an interfaith dialogue at this very moment. It is apparent that you know your theology quite well, so all I can really say is this: God is compassionate and gracious, willing to forgive - but there is no salvation outside of his son. Yes, that comes from special revelation - the Bible - but is also confirmed in the sacraments - where God preaches to us a visual sermon about the atoning death of Christ. Of course you know all this but I would just encourage you to cry out to God to give you eyes to see, ears to hear, to help you to believe. "Lord I believe, help thou mine unbelief". I will be praying for you.

Eric - I am sorry to hear that.
