How the fuck do i even know which religion will save me after death? Is universalism the only way out of this dilemma?

Look for the one that isn't lying to you. You don't exist in the sense that you think you exist.

QVOD VIDE THE TRUE CREED: CATHOLICISM.

I KNOW THAT HUGE REGIONS OF THE WORLD HAVE BEEN DECHRISTIANIZED, AND HAVE BEEN PAGANICAL, AND/OR HERETICAL, FOR DECADES, AND EVEN CENTURIES, BUT YOUR QUESTION SEEMS AS IF IT WERE MADE BY SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN LIVING IN ISOLATION FOR HIS ENTIRE LIFE UNTIL RECENTLY —HAVE YOU EVER EVEN HEARD, OR READ, THE WORD: «CHRISTIAN», OR THE NAME: «JESUS»?


>Is universalism the only way out of this dilemma?

1. UNIVERSALISM IS A PERSPECTIVE OF WORLDVIEW, NOT A RELIGION; CHRISTIANITY —ID EST: CATHOLICISM— IS UNIVERSALISTIC.

2. TO WHAT DILEMMA ARE YOU REFERRING?

Personally, I have found Orthodox Christianity to be the Truth, it just makes sense and seems almost otherworldly. I hope you find the Truth one day as I have.

None because the idea of being "saved" was invented by Abrahamic autists.

The final truth of religion is that none are saved

Not at all, Egyptians had spells that had to be recited to have your soul saved, the Greeks had Mysteries to earn eternal salvation, neoplatonism is all about the salvation of the soul

Just do what every single religious person does and perform the religion you were raised in/around.

Islam is the truth. The Jews disobeyed Allah from day one and eventually worshipped one of their last prophets.

The only way you can have a personal assurance about this matter is to read and pray. Examine all the religions which claim to have some kind of universal truth or which have a philosophical/apologetic tradition. I think any rational person, provided they give each religion a fair hearing, would have to eventually conclude from this that no existing religion can offer salvation. Or, at the very least, they would have to conclude that there are no good arguments for supposing that any of them can. Now, that doesn't mean you can't be religious. It just means you'd have to take a less metaphysically robust view of religion.
If you are a college student, start by taking some religious studies courses if possible to get a foundation on how to critically and scientifically study religion without much bias, and only then would I recommend you to delve into philosophy of religion. Otherwise, you can educate yourself by reading books.

Organized religion is always a trap and perversion of natural spirituality. Don’t fall into the Catholics iron maiden.
