I allowed a player to cast Cure Moderate Wounds on an Efreet (an outsider), as I saw nothing in the creature type's or spell's description disallowing this.

Is this correct ?? Seems awkward.

To extend the question further, it seems you can also cast "Cure" spells on Elementals.

Cure spells heal living creatures' HP damage. Having a constitution score means they're alive (constructs and undead for instance don't have one and are not healed by them, undead are an exception and explicitly damaged by cure spells). Elementals, plants, and outsiders can not only be healed with cure spells but also can be energy drained too (often even those with a special ability to energy drain).

What stamhaven said. Cure spells work the same for all living creatures.

Got a Constitution score? Cure works on you. You *might* have to lower Spell Resistance.
