Allah Almighty predicted that Christians would be great, peaceful and honorable people! But this still doesn't guarantee all of them Paradise!
Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran spoke highly about the Christians' love and compassion toward others:
"Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (The Noble Quran, 5:82)"
"Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our apostles: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Good Pleasure of God; but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors. (The Noble Quran, 57:27)"
As we clearly see in the above Noble Verses, the Christians according to Islam are beautiful and compassionate people. Allah Almighty Himself spoke very highly about them in the Noble Quran. But even though many Christians are compassionate people, they unfortunately still commit crimes against Allah Almighty by associating partners with Him. Most of them unfortunately are guilty of polytheism, because they elated and praised Jesus too much until they made a GOD out of him:
"They do blaspheme who say: 'Allah is Christ the son of Mary.' But said Christ: 'O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' Whoever joins other gods with Allah- Allah will forbid hi the Garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrongdoers be no one to help. (The Noble Quran, 5:72)"
The Arabic root word for "blaspheme" is "kufr". The word, however, doesn't always refer to infidels. Kufr can be used for atheists and pagans, but it could also be used for excessive people, but only in the bad sense. For instance, when Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, fell and the American and Allied troops seized Saddam Hussien's palaces, they found some of them to be 2 miles long from the inside with 50 kitchens, 22 bathrooms and hundreds of bed rooms furnished with the best and most expensive furniture the world has to offer. This is "kufr". Saddam was an excessive person who will be punished severely in Hell Fire by Allah Almighty, but he also at the same time was not a polytheist or a true infidel.
Adolf Hitler's excessive killing of people, and mad torture of the Jews by baking them in ovens was also "kufr" or excessiveness.
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him used the word "kufr" for women also:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: "The Prophet said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful (kufruhin)." It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never received any good from you." (Sahih Bukhari, The book of Belief, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 28)"
In this Saying of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, we see that some of women's excessive ungratefulness will cause them to end up in Hell Fire. Notice how Prophet Muhammad's followers at first thought he was calling women as infidels by asking him: "Do they disbelieve in Allah?"
The point is:
My point is that in Noble Verse 5:72, the Arabic word for blaspheme doesn't necessarily mean that trinitarian Christians are infidels. It could mean that they are excessive people in their ridiculous belief about Jesus being the Creator of the Universe. It will cause for all of them to get punished severely in Hell Fire, but I as a Muslim can not call them "infidels". Also, according to Islam, Hell will eventually be empty.
Also, Allah Almighty never made it clear in the Noble Quran about how He will punish trinitarian Christians: "The Jews say: "The Christians have naught (to stand) upon; and the Christians say: "The Jews have naught (To stand) upon." Yet they (Profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto their word is what those say who know not; but God will judge between them in their quarrel on the Day of Judgment. (The Noble Quran, 2:113)"
Every person Allah Almighty Created will be Judged by Him individually and uniquely. There is no specific equation or formula that Allah Almighty will use to determine whether the person will end up in Heaven or in Hell. Every person will be judged according to every single thing from good and bad he did in his life:
"Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it! And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it. (The Noble Quran, 99:7-8)"
Your record of life will be played back before you, and Allah Almighty will show you every single good and bad deed you have committed. You will see all of your doings crystal clear. Allah Almighty will then pass His Holy Judgement upon you and sentence you to where ever you belong.
Therefore, I as a Muslim can not say that this person will go to Hell and this person will go to Heaven. I can only do what Allah Almighty Commands me to do in the Noble Quran, and live a peaceful and harmonious life.
