According to the quiz, I'm a Chalcedon compliant. I haven't studied early Christian history, so I'm not even sure what that is. I'm also a Protestant, which I reckon makes me heretic according to Catholic teaching. So I'm taking my quiz result with several grains of salt.

All the heresies apply pre-reformation so it's not a Catholic/Protestant thing.

However, being Chalcedon complaint is a good thing!

Please forward your height, weight, and dress size to Rome immediately. It helps the Pope decide how much firwewood will be needed to cure your heresy.

On the other hand, if you look like a promising convert, and like to row, the RCs may be able to use you in the galleys.

Me, too. I'm so glad I'm not a heretic. What did we do before the internets?

Mmmmm. No. (And if a Catholic should happen to levy the charge, point them to their Catechism so that they may learn what their Church actually teaches.)

Wounds to unity

817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable. But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion with the Catholic Church - for which, often enough, men of both sides were to blame."

*****

818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers . . . . All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."
