Not to worry, according to the Catholics, just about everybody is going to heaven.

"The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; they profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 841, quoting from Vatican Council II, Lumen Gentium, 16)

There is a material difference in being part of the plan of Salvation and actually enjoying the fruits of that plan.
