Are you asking if a person be Catholic (and follow their beliefs/practices) and be a Christian?
No. But it's a closer guess than your other choices. I asked:
"Can I be Catholic -- and be a Christian believing and following all of their stated beliefs and practices ?"
(First Person, singular -- just like the TITLE of the thread)
But if you need to re-word the question, you can try this:
Can a person be Catholic -- and be a Christian whilst believing and following all of the stated beliefs and practices of the 'Holy Roman Catholic Church' ?
ESPECIALLY - if that person simultaneously believes what the Bible says about salvation, grace, Jesus, the one true Church, Peter, works of the flesh, Mary, ... and a host of other subjects...
IOW - "Since so many of the beliefs and practices of the 'HRCC' are at odds with God's explicit Word, how could such a person claim to be a devoted Catholic AND a Christian?"
“Can a person be Catholic — and be a Christian whilst believing and following all of the stated beliefs and practices of the ‘Holy Roman Catholic Church’ ?”
Thank you very much.
I really just didn’t understand what you were asking the other poster.
I also don’t understand why everyone is so unpleasant when discussing these concepts.
