I understand your point. For sake of clarity, please understand what I was trying to say. In both of our traditions we have had individuals who have said or done things that we disagree with. This does not mean that we disagree with them entirely, or invalidate areas of agreement we do have. D-Fendr had stated "Thus far, you've pointed out you don't agree with anyone, Seminary, Calvin, Luther, even your church." The statement was false. I have areas of disagreement with lots of folks, but on the essentials, I am in agreement with all of the above for we all have the same source for our beliefs- Scripture. That's all I was saying.

Yes, I understand. I generally think that sort of bringing the Protestants to task by appeals to the authority of Luther or others, are waste of time, since rejection of human authority is a hallmark of the Reformation; and on the other hand it is legitimate to ask a Catholic to reconcile his views with the doctrines of Rome, -- when such doctrines exist. My only point is that often less that doctrinal statements are assumed to be doctrine when they are not.
