But I don’t think he should pretend to believe what she’s believing to make her feel better. But he can engage with her and explain why he feels differently.

We had a rather fundamentalist babysitter for a time, who attended a Conservative Baptist church and asked her pastor once about the condition of our souls. His answer was similar — something about how born-again Christians know how they themselves are saved, but it is not their place to know where God sets the limits of his mercy toward others.
