For example: When I enlisted in the Air Force I was asked what my religion was. I said I had none, I had left the Catholic Church. They stamped "P" on my dog tags. An assumption. Just because I am critical of the RCC doesn't necessarilly mean I am a "P" does it? Like Havoc, I consider myself a "Christian". I am very comfortable with many of the doctrines of the RCC. I object when I see what I believe are "inventions". I do agree I am more "P" than "C". I think to the Army, as to most people, there are three types of Christians - Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant. You more or less have to pick one. Since you did personally leave the Catholic Church you must have objected to something or you wouldn't have left. This is classic first-person protest. You protest their belief by not going there.

But, did that make me a "P" as you assume? That is why some RCC's make false statements concerning Protestant beliefs and practices. FALSE ASSUMPTIONS.
I said Air Force. Why did you assume "Army"?.
