Yeah, I don’t think I phrased my comment very clearly.
I was trying to say that, if the Christian conception of heaven/hell exists, then it is highly likely than an objective non-utilitarian morality exists. It shouldn’t be surprising that continuing to use utilitarianism within an otherwise Christian framework yields garbage results! As you say, a Christian can still be an EA, for most relevant definitions of “be an EA”.
The set of tools EA provides for considering how to help others, and the network/community, could be useful for any altruist.
Utilitarianism is less compatible with Catholicism.
