let’s see here...give up Judaism and convert to an erroneous version of Christianity....how good is that? I guess, because she will be baptized, she will at least be absolved of original sin. Christ, however, laid out a plan for salvation and the protestant church wasn’t mentioned anywhere....in fact it didn’t exist for 1,600 years after He laid out the plan.

I didn't see anywhere in the article mentioning she wants to convert to a protestant denomination. In fact, the article talks about the dad who converted before her and mentions "The judge said it was “wholly wrong” for the mother to go to court without discussing it with the father or his priest." If the father's pastor is a priest, then he's probably Catholic, or possibly (though unlikely) Orthodox.

Which version would that be?

“. Christ, however, laid out a plan for salvation and the protestant church wasn’t mentioned anywhere”

Terycarl, he didn’t mention Roman Catholics, either. He just mentions the church, which RC’s think means them, and Protestants thinks means them.

FYI Bible believing Protestants believe they are the true church, maintained since apostolic times, just like the RC’s do. Where RCs say Protestants left to go with bad doctrine, Protestants say RCs left to go with bad doctrine.

Hm there are several incorrect things in your statement, but let's start with the idea that Jesus laid out a plan for salvation. Jesus said "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am [the one I claim to be] and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me." therefore, if we are honest it is not Jesus's plan of salvation, but the Father's. {Jesus is merely the executor of it. (If "merely" can be applied to Jesus, that is.)}

Secondly, where can you find the doctrine that baptism washes away sin, original or otherwise? 1 John 1:7 states clearly that it is Jesus's own blood that washes away all sin. {Then there's Paul and James to consider.}

Boy will you have a surprise if you get to heaven. You will find a whole bunch of Protestants there who worshipped in Spirit and in truth here on earth. You may as well get used to it because we will be there for eternity. We are as much a part of Christs Church as believing Catholics are.
