Below is an excerpt from a review of the movie World Trade Center by a gentleman who has a fantastic blog called Cross-Eyed. I thought he pointed out someting very interesting at the end...
"The context: As these two cops are trapped and about to die underneath 20 foot of rubble, they try to keep each other awake. While one goes in and our of conciousness, he sees Jesus. The implication is that he is very close to entering Heaven.On a serious note: we need to think deeply about this. If Karis (my daughter) were old enough to have theological conversations, my questions would go something like this: Karis, did this movie give any reason to believe that this cop was a Christian? Did this guy possess an obvious faith in God's promises? According to his own words, what was this cop's greatest treasure. What did he most want in what he thought were his last moments? Sadly, this movie was another instance of our culture's core theology: Justfication by death. This movie portrayed the false belief that all "good" people go to Heaven."
How true is that! This culture sadly believes in justification by death without a second thought. How blind people are to the truth!

Also the guy in that article (and one similar in world magazine) is a catholic. I am not trying to judge but if we know what the catholic faith believes....
It's not judging, It's called "discernment"
Santan goes around disguising himself as the angel of light to deceive. That is the scariest.
Fear not says the a Lord, For I will not leave you like orfans to stray.
