Let it go. The way you're carrying on, you don't really make for a good argument that, "Your faith is a cult, but mine is benign". Being a zealot does not make for "real" salvation.
The absurdity of religion aside, though, who are you to dictate what "real" salvation is? For people of Protestant or any other Reformation faith to attack Catholicism (as they are prone to doing) sort of is biting the hand that feeds it.
But, that aside, do you really believe you know the path to "salvation" better than your friend? People have devoted their whole lives to studying The Bible, and they still dispute aspects of it and what the teachings mean.
Do yourself a your friend both a favor - leave it be. If "God" has some sort of plan to lead her to "real salvation", then do you not believe it will come to pass?

The first place to go is to a local Catholic parish and request an appointment to speak to a priest. He will be able to explain what needs to be done to become a full Catholic. For a well educated member of the Orthodox Church it should be a short and simple process as little divides the two Churches. The priest will just need to verify that you do accept the Catholic Church's views in these areas of contention.

That would require the person to enroll in RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) which is a lengthy process lasting several months.
