Not the AN, but what you describe sounds like MN 11:

:goodpost: :goodpost:
i think this/these are actually what i was thinking of. could have been this or a parallel in another nikaya.
what i get from this sutta is that other religions do teach truth to some degree, however incomplete
I host a sutta discussion via Zoom Sundays at 11AM Chicago time — message me if you are interested
