I don't think anyone should ever act or convince themselves that they are somehow holier than anyone else. Many people who claim faith do carry themselves higher than those they deem not of faith. No believer should ever allow pride to work in his/her life as so. AFter all the Bible says that "There is no one righteous, not even one", and "for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God".
BUT:
As Christians, our belief is that Christ is the ONLY way to God, and that there is no other way. So, as beleivers in Christ's death, and what his death was for (the cleansing of sins and the reconciliation of humans to God) it makes it impossible for us to think that those who think they can get reconciled to God without CHrist will be reconciled.
