Six claims. From my experience, I would contest #s 1, 2, 5 and 6. But
your experiences may be different.

If "universalism" means the claim that one must "know Jesus" to attain
heaven, (which is the claim that myriads of human beings are denied
heaven because of their place or time of birth, than your example may
be true.

On the "hinduism" calim I have no idea.
