.....”Your ancestors, unless they were Muslims or Buddists, were Catholic, so yes protestants got their faith from the Catholic Church. End of story.”......

Wrong....

We as Gentiles are grafted into the Vine (Christ) as a result of the promise and not as a result of the law which catholicism teaches....... We are ‘heirs’ according to the promise given to Abraham and ‘made his offspring of faith’ because we belong to Christ..... As is written.....”Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.”..... Galatians 5:4

Jesus is the Head, foundation, and chief shepherd of the church.... (Eph. 1:22,23; Col. 1:18; Matt. 28:18; I Cor. 3:11; Acts 4:10,11; I Pet. 2:3-8; John 10:11,14; I Pet. 5:4; Heb. 13:20)....... For the church to have two heads (Jesus and the Pope) would be spiritual adultery, like a woman having two husbands.

So despite its claims, the Catholic church is not the true, original church since it does not follow the teaching and practice of the original church.

These are just a few of the teachings of the catholic church Jeus did not ask of us nor are they Biblical.....(the Pope, church councils, tradition, church law, the Mass or eucharist, transubstantiation, purgatory, indulgences, abstinence, celibacy, Lent, confession to priests, communion, immaculate conception, the perpetual virginity of Mary, and prayer to saints and Mary) Which are all man made.
