“Let’s begin with the term “christian”. St. Paul writes about his travels to the Church at Antioch, and St. Peter evangelized there. Here, the followers of Jesus were first called “Christians” (Acts 11:26).”

My point exactly. I should then bring this around with me for whenever I hear someone tell me Catholics are not Christian, or ‘I’m not Catholic, I’m Christian’, or, a favorite, ‘oh, yes, SOME Catholics are Christian’.

That is why I call myself first a Christian Roman Catholic, because we must go beyond denominations.
