I've never asked anyone what church they attended or what their affiliations are. When I have inquired about a groups beliefs it has been when the individual has volunteered information.

By the way where did I ask those questions? You don't cite a post.

I don't recall anywhere where Protestants ask Catholics what they believe.

What usually happens is that the Protestants who are ex-Catholics state in public view what they were taught by the Catholic church, support it from the CCC, so the mask is torn for those who see, and then we are attacked for it, mostly with claims that we're wrong, although, almost every ex-Catholic strangely remembers being taught the exact same *error* growing up.

My convictions, beliefs are mine and I’ve always been willing to discuss their basis. What others choose to do is their affair.

If someone cites the position of a church or other body as the source of their beliefs then quoting or referring to that source seems reasonable to me.

"I don't recall anywhere where Protestants ask Catholics what they believe."

There are a few Protestants who do ask, but the majority of the Protestants who troll these threads aren't interested in what Catholics actually believe. They have their handy-dandy list of lies about the Church that they endlessly recite telling Catholics what Catholics actually believe. The worst are the failed and ad jure excommunicated Catholics who never had a clue.
