I know many Catholics that know Scripture better than Protestants.

Perhaps it would be better to say "I know many Catholics that know Scripture better than some Protestants." Or even "many Protestants". And toss in the Baptists and evangelicals and charismatics with the "Protestants" here.

Sound Protestants and Baptists and evangelicals do not pretend that all in their churches are sound. Or even saved. A pity Rome won't be so honest about her own flock but instead pretends that her sacramental system and purgatory will accomplish their salvation instead.

Pew-sitting in Rome's churches is no more the salvation of a sinner that warming a pew in a Baptist church.

Baptists, evangelicals, and charismatics are Protestants. I don't care how many times Baptists want to say they aren't Protestants, historically you came out of the Reformation just like your other Protestant counterparts.

LOL! Who ever made an assertion that we are perfect?

See, this is where I am going to have to call you on this. Most Baptists I know think that once saved, always saved which is very much against Catholic doctrine. I would surmize that pew sitting amongst the Baptists would lead them to believe that they are saved.
