I show due respect to all people because everyone is made in the image of God. However, just because someone claims to be a Christian, does not mean they are "saved", or "born again", or "children of God". Only those who believe God's Word and keep the commandments of Jesus Christ are truly Christians...

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them *, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

That’s true enough, not everyone who claims to be is (particularly on that day!), but even in Sodom there was found a believer, of course he was told to grab his family and get out of Dodge, but I digress. There are believers in the Roman Catholic Church and we should therefore be respectful in discussing doctrinal differences. If it turns out you are having that discussion with a non-believer, God may well use you in some small way to grow His kingdom.
