How can you take away the righteousness of those who are not righteous?
What typical pretenders will do is to deny righteousness to anyone but themselves...since if they don't then how are they better than anyone else? Next is to climb over the walls of the kingdom that were pulled down by the Babylonians in order to claim that righteousness for themselves. In that status they think they are safe, fully outside the judgment of God....fully protected by their religious beliefs..

Until God cleans His house.

You're actually the one doing that.
You feel condemned by the righteous, so you try to invalidate their righteousness. It makes you feel better to bring the righteous down.

1 John 3:12
12Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.

Actually, it is through faith that we are fully protected:

1 Peter 1:5
5who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

We believe that it is through faith in the blood of Christ that our sins are forgiven and we are protected from the wrath of God to come.

1 Thessalonians 1:10
10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

And if a Hindu or Muslim does what Jesus has laid out as obedience to the will of God...then it is mercy for them.
And then when they can't do the will of God, which no one can do in and of themselves, then what?
And then there's the matter of the unpayable debt of their past disobedience.

These harsh realities are what make the Good News of redemption through faith in Jesus Christ good. He redeems us from our slavery and service to sin by paying off what we owe the taskmaster we have sold ourselves to and setting us free from the labor of that sin.

This is false and unbiblical. Jesus died for the sins of the world...not just the church.
His sacrifice is for the whole world, but only those who have faith in that sacrifice have it. You can't have the benefit of a sacrifice that you do not believe and trust in. You become a part of God's church when you believe in and receive by faith the sacrifice of Jesus for the forgiveness of sin.
