Can't separate the two. For 1600 years, ALL Christians were Catholics, then some broke away from the church and "protested"..Thus protestants. Now, however, the ONLY TRUE AND COMPLETE Christians are Catholics. Protestants are all the remaining Christians but every denomination is either teaching false interpretation of scripture or else are just incomplete in their concept of what Christianity is...
There are more Christians than there are Catholics.Catholicism has already separated itself from mainstream Christianity by pushing the false concept that the church of Jesus Christ, made up of all born again believers with Jesus in them and them in Him [look it up it's in the New Testament] is wholly contained within the Catholic Church.Can't separate the two.
Oh except for those that are "incomplete." Believing that takes some dedication to false doctrine with strong blinders to the truth on.
Catholicism is the first Protestant denomination because the protested against the Orthodox about a thousand years ago because the Orthodox preferred Jesus as their leader instead of a pope.
More from the cult of all non Catholics are Protestants. Get exorcized from that cult and follow Jesus!
Christians...sans Catholics if you like...use the Bible to have the Truth of what Jesus taught.
If following Jesus and learning His truths is "incomplete" to you, fine with me...
Sure you can.
Or are you trying to tell us that Mafia hit men are Christian?
Or all those popes that Elsie posts lists of?
Or Kennedy? Pelosi? Biden? Chavez?
All the pro- abortion, pro-homosexual marriage supporting Catholics? They're all Christian?
Seems that you have a different definition of what being a Christ follower is than God does.
