inclusivism
Policy welcoming all
Inclusivism is the theological position that one religion holds the fullest truth while allowing that people outside it may still achieve salvation or spiritual fulfillment through their own traditions.
It sits between exclusivism (only our path saves) and pluralism (many paths are equally valid): Catholic inclusivism holds that non-Christians may be saved through Christ's grace without explicitly knowing him.
The term extends beyond religion to any framework that privileges one perspective while making room for others.
