wrote an epistle that was treated as Scripture by a significant number of Christian believers for the next couple of centuries;

There you go...And there's your Catholic church...

You forgot to mention that a significant number of Christians did NOT treat Clement's epistles as Holy Scripture...Ever...And these became the 'heretics' your church brazenly writes about...

Well, if you want to claim Pelagians as True Christians, go right ahead. If you want to claim Gnostics, go right ahead. If you want to claim Arians, go right ahead. You can have them.

Get a clue, friend. You're now well down the road toward inventing imaginary history to slander us. Stick to the truth if you want to persuade.

You'll note that Catholic Bibles don't include Clement's epistle any more than Protestant Bibles do.

Nobody was ever called a heretic for failing to treat Clement's letter as Scripture, or for doing so.

And it was the Catholic church, at councils in the late 4th and early 5th century, which ultimately determined that Clement's epistle should be excluded from the canon, not because there was anything wrong with it, but because Clement was not an apostle. (The title of "apostle" being restricted to those who had seen the risen Jesus and had been personally commissioned by him.)
