Exclusivism about salvation, or salvific exclusivism, is understood to combine two claims. First, only one's own tradition delivers salvation, and, second, only members of one's own tradition can achieve salvation. There is discussion of the relationship between the second of these claims and the requirement that certain beliefs must be held if salvation is to be achieved. A case against salvific exclusivism is provided. Proposals from J. A. DiNoia, William Rowe, Alan Race, and others are considered.
