Being a Catholic does not equate one-to-one with being a Christian. I’m sure there are Christians in the catholic institution, but there are even Christians in Mormonism. And as with catholiciism, these drifting in the institution of catholiciism did not become Christians via Mormonism, or a particular baptism, or a particular fealty to sacraments.

Your concept of Christianity is totally skewed...Catholicism IS Christianity, fully and completely. The various "denominations" which sprang up as the result of the revolution, are all either in error or at best incomplete.. Catholics are not Christians because they believe in the Sacraments and Baptism, but believe in those things because they are TOTALLY Christian.....to deny the Sacraments and still claim Christianity is in error and incomplete.

.Catholicism IS Christianity, fully and completely.

With a LOT of other, unneeded, stuff tossed in.

“..to deny the Sacraments and still claim Christianity is in error and incomplete”
So your organization was incomplete for 1200 years since the seven sacraments wasn’t nailed down or necessary for salvation until the COT. I think you need to study your organization’s history without those rose colored glasses and ask yourself why would that be. The sacraments became absolutely necessary because the reformation. The rcc was hemorrhaging members and the rcc was willing to do anything to keep the paychecks coming in. So they made up some new rules at the COT on sacraments and now you preach the lie that it has always been that way. This history is in open view on the rcc website. I’ll even make it easy so you may cut and paste “ council of trent and the sacraments”.

What is God’s Gospel of Salvation, TC? You claim to be in Christianity, so what IS what Jesus said to be born from above, born again? What is the ‘work’ God requires to receive God’s Spirit life in your dead human spirit?

And there is one holy catholic apostolic church, built upon blessed Peter and the other Jewish Apostles and Prophets, with the Messiah (blessed be His name for all eternity) being the chief cornerstone, against which the gates of hell have not prevailed.

Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

First John, Catholic chapter three, Protestant verses thirteen to twenty four,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James
