Universalist

All souls saved

A Universalist is someone who believes in universal salvation—the doctrine that all human souls will eventually be reconciled to God, regardless of their beliefs or actions in life.

This position rejects the idea of eternal damnation.

Historically, Universalist refers specifically to a member of the Universalist Church of America, which merged with the Unitarians in 1961 to form the Unitarian Universalist Association.

More broadly, universalist (often lowercase) describes anyone who advocates for universal principles or applications rather than particular or limited ones.
