To what unity do you refer?

To Protestant unity.

Protestants have as much a right to define the bases for their unity as Catholics do for theirs.

You conveniently skipped conservonator's questions:

I didn't conveniently skip conservonator's questions ... I purposely skipped them ... because they serve no purpose in advancing this discussion.

I will repeat ... by the definition of Protestants, ... per our study of scripture ... any difference of belief that Protestants have regarding the questions you have raised do not violate Protestant unity.

We do not throw anyone out of the Protestant church just because their belief regarding these matters are not identical.

I realize that such a thing is antithetical to the Catholic way ... but, that's, in part, why we are Protestants.

That's what I was asking you to do - define your unity.

any difference of belief that Protestants have regarding the questions you have raised do not violate Protestant unity.

I thought that's what you had been telling us - that Protestants agree in core belief. But from this statement of yours I guess you are saying they don't. So what Protestant "unity" are you talking about if it is not in belief?
