If my parents, grandparents, and all the good sisters, brothers, bishops, and priests are right, I don't want to be spending any more time in purgatory than necessary.

Although it would appear that many of our Muslim brothers are really working on getting some hot coals up their asses for awhile.)  |
According to Santee he also fully knows and judges your motivations. So if he's vindictive enough to punish non-believers and 'mercenary' do-gooding Christians he's likely to damn those cunning bastards that just want to hedge their bets.
It's just as likely (or improbable) that any 'God' is Christian-hating one rather than Pro-Christian and your belief will damn you rather than give you any salvation.
