In his article "Who Can Be Saved?" Avery Dulles reflects on the development of views in the Church about whether explicit faith in Jesus Christ is necessary for salvation. Write a 300-350 word post answering the following questions in a way you think makes the best sense of Christian doctrine.  Draw from Dulles' article to aid your discussion:

1. How do salvation and faith in Christ relate to each other?

2. How might God's grace be able to save non-Christians who don't have explicit faith in Christ?
