I have started paying attention to what people say/write. When some are asked about religion, they say Catholic. Others say Christian with no other identity. Some say “born again Christian.” Is being Catholic more important than being a Christian? I have not heard a Protestant denomination mentioned. Very interesting.

For your question, a Roman Catholic church member would be better to ask than I, a non-Roman Catholic Christian...a follower of and believer in eternal life granted to me by lasting faith in Jesus of Nazareth as my only Lord and Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and soon-to-appear-again-to-everyone King; all of these things done for me and not by me or via anything I have done or could ever do for myself.

Over time and having attended fellowship meetings and joined in membership with believers of various denominations and/or labels, my family and I have come to prefer the term non-denominational Christian as our identification when asked. I wish to avoid Nicolaitanism insofar as possible while living on planet Earth.

I was once in the presence of an RC that was going on and on about how she loved "Lillydale" (A spiritualist summer community..that does card /palm readings ..fortune telling and seances .. )

I said aren't you a christian? She snapped at me, "no I am a Catholic and that gives me peace"

So long answer short.. if you say they are not Christians they get all upset.. but if you ask them what faith they are..they will say Catholic

In my family there are Lutherans, Methodists, Catholics, members of a Christian Church, Baptists, Prebyterians, and members of a megachurch. We all consider ourselves and each other to be Christians.
