Wycliffe denied that salvation was confined to Church members

Evidence

Just as some who are in the Church are damned, so others outside the Church are saved. If you object that, if this is so, we cannot call the Jews unbelievers, the Saracens heretics, the Greeks schismatics, and so on, I reply, “Man can be saved from any sect, even from among the Saracens, if he places no obstacle in the way of salvation. From Islam and from other sects, those who at the moment of death believe in the Lord Jesus Christ will be judged to be faithful Christians.” — R. W. Southern, Western Views of Islam in the Middle…, 461

Categorization

• XREF: Wycliffe’s inclusivism prefigures later ‘anonymous Christian’ theology of Karl Rahner by six centuries — an echo worth tracing.
• QUESTION: How does Wycliffe reconcile ‘no obstacle in the way of salvation’ with his harsher predestinarian side — is this a genuinely different strand of his thought?
