I never understood how someone can be Atheist / Christian and Buddhist - Buddhism is a practice of belief in order not incorporate a belief in Buddhism is not really practical.
But as a Buddhist, I plan to go to hell with the rest of the Christians

God will judge our hearts.
This world is a big test
I hope that I and many others and understand and realize that we can look to awaken our hearts without mercy.
If our hearts are selfish to the needs of others around us, so we must be careful of the things that take us beyond the opportunity for love.

I am also a Buddhist / atheist, but I do not think you should worry about heaven or hell if you are not Christian or Catholic. but I asked the same question because we are peaceful people. I think as long as your comfortable with your religion or belief that it should matter

Only in response to Corvus:
I think it is entirely possible that the Buddhist religion and again. I think often in the sense that you are the religion that is deeply rooted in their practices and rituals, presumably having grown up with the rituals. So I guess what I'm saying is that the way that you can be Catholic is largely cultural. In addition, there are many ways of talking about the same, so the belief in God can be compatible with Buddhism if you think of God as love.
Certainly, there could be some conflicts between a very specific view of God (ie as a person up in heaven who seek to reward and punishment) and the Buddhist practice, but I do not think that is the case for most people identify as Buddhist and other religion. One last thing is that I do not think that Buddhism is really not to believe in anything. That seems more like nihilism. I think it has more to do with being present in the life and cultivate the love and acceptance. Part of this acceptance may mean that you can not know anything sure, but I do not think that means you can not believe anything (such as the power of love to transform suffering).
When asked if the original question: I'm sorry that I did not answer your question (I do, but I'm not Catholic) - I just wanted to kind of respond to what he says Corvus.

The Catholic Church is always open to dialogue with other religions.
This weekend visit to your local bookstore and buy a copy of:
Crossing the Threshold of Hope by Pope John Paul II.
A great book full of information they seek.
God bless you "

The Catholic Church teaches that no outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation, but you have to look at what this really means. Paragraph 3 of the Second Vatican Council's Decree on Ecumenism (Unitatis Redintegratio, November 21, 1964) says that our separated brethren "who believe in the faith of Christ and have been properly baptized are put in some, though imperfect, the communion with the Catholic Church. "
He also said that "all those who have been justified by faith in baptism are incorporated into Christ, therefore they are entitled to call themselves Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers, the sons of the Catholic Church." All world might be saved through the Catholic Church, either as members of the faithful that the Church, or as members of churches which contain important elements of sanctification and truth found in the Catholic Church, or as people who, through no fault his will not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will, as we know it through the dictates of their consciousness. Therefore, a bishop is responsible for each within his diocese, not only the most Catholic.

In fact, its what you believe in what you get.
Because Catholics and Christians, because in heaven and hell and the sins that shouldn't commit or go to hell (and all of the Earth has at least one of them), therefore all Catholics and Christians go to hell. And all the believers are not saved.

Yes, some of them will be saved. Those who try to live a moral life to God and seek salvation is possible for them. There is a baptism of desire. The thief on the cross was a baptism.

As a Catholic I never told anyone of any religion that religion will not go to hell, but I personally see any Catholic in yahoo and say that I have not heard from fellow Catholics in real life too!
Its correct to say about us we believe in purgatory and heaven is opened to the good people in life that are not Catholic!
However I will say a lot of Catholics have been told to go to hell as many others, not yourself, of course!
