All who have excepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior are members of the Church of Christ.

I would add that Protestants are members of the body of Christ however they are in imperfect communion with his Church.

The body of Christ is the church.

Also in my prior post, it should read "accepted", not "excepted".

Poor us. As a member of the body of Christ, which IS His Church, I am most concerned about being in perfect communion with the Head, Jesus Christ!!! Believers who are a part of the Roman Catholic church are members of Christ's body as well; even Pope John Paul--and it would be nice to have perfect communion with them, too; as foot to foot, or hand to hand, or eye to eye, or toe to toe, but.... For some enlightenment on the subject, read Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12. Yours truly, Hopefulpilgrim
