That is alright, Protestants do not have sacraments, we have Ordinances.

Some Protestants do consider their sacraments to be sacraments. But you do help me make my point. What Catholics do and what Protestants do may appear similar, but they are considered to be very different things, by both parties.

To suggest they are interchangeable is what is known as "indifference." And Truth is one thing no one should be indifferent to.

On that we can both agree.

Protestants should not be going to Roman Catholic churches and taking their sacraments either.

I think, and correct me if I'm wrong (like someone being wrong would ever get ignored around here anyway) that a Trinitarian Baptism is recognized between RCs and Paedobaptist Proddies. However...an RC baptized as an infant would not be recognized by the credo-Baptists. (And I am using the term Protestant in the strictist sense of the term, those who are Protesting, not the broad term applied to all non-RCs).

Calvinists only see two sacraments: Baptism and Communion. We recognize RC Baptism, but our disagreement on the nature of Communion is enough for another thread....
