What is a justified belief?

I don't have any problem being corrected. All I've gone on is what others have written here, some quotes I've read, and some of Plantinga's mp3s I've listened to.
For Plantinga, a belief is warranted only if there is a high objective probability of its being true.
But I don't recall reading this before.

Plantinga takes 'knowledge' to be 'warranted, true belief.' Thus 'warrant is that property that turns mere true belief into knowledge.' Given his discussion on sin and cognitive malfunction, why would you even think that he thinks an unregenerate Muslim or Jew has 'just as much warrant?" Frankly, I doubt if you've even read his books yourself. For mistakes, these are too big!
Nope. I haven't read any of his books. They are on my Amazon wish list - but no one have bought them for me (hint hint). I'm stuck mainly with public domain books and those things I can get at a deep discount (my Calvin's Commentaries, and my set of The Works BB Warfield. I got them by going in with several others at church for a big bulk discount.)

So you can give a quotation and citation of Plantinga's work were he defines knowledge as you have said (warranted belief)? I can't look it up personally.

Please take a list at my wish list and let me know which books you thing should be priority and what else I should add. My Amazon Wish List - Theology and Apologetics List
