I have lived all my life around Orthodox and Catholics. I think I can safely say ( I should know; I am one of them) that both Apostolic communities, whose theology is about 99% the same, believe in the Triune God first, and then reverentially venerate Mary, St. John the Forerunner (Baptist), patron Saints, etc. in that order.

My impression is that most of them are less familiar with the Bible based on their own readings than your average Protestant. But their Biblical education is based on bible classes, and liturgical life where weekly readings cover most if not all of the NT and OT.

Well, I’m quite glad that my sample of RC’s is not normative to yours.

Not sure how else to explain it.
