The question still remains. In the macro, has Christianity, in it’s essence, merged to be one church?

Is there a distinction now between the churches?

Is there a reason to actually be a Catholic? Or to be a Baptist?

to the former, yes, still

But many of the earliest non-catholic Churches are discovering they have a lot more with the Church than with liberal members of their own denominations

But the gulf between orthodoxy and, say Lutheranism, is small

The gulf between orthodoxy and the Baptist creed is quite large, but still within the bounds of Trinitarian Christianity

But, the distance between Baptists/Catholics and Oneness Pentecostals who deny the Trinity is very large for example, insurmountable.
