Then why did you bring up the question of whether the Church considered you a part of it?
Among the things which keep this thread alive is that the article says Catholics believe things they don't believe, starting with the whole buying your way out of hell fire nonsense. You said that the Catholic Church does not consider you a part of it "so" you question whether we are part of the same family. YOU brought it up in post #77.And when I do respond and the person rapidly changes the subject without acknowledging his error, well, it's all very troubling.

Aren't we all part of the great family of Abraham -- stars in the sky, grains of sand?
Even in the prayers at Mass, we pray for all those who believe, whether they are there in person or not. So many Protestants get prayed for in a Catholic Mass. Who would have ever though it?
