I realize that if the proddies' eyes aren't opened by the Holy Spirit, they will never understand the truth. Far better to pray for them than to waste time arguing with them.

As far as salvation goes, it really doesn't matter if we understand, does it? From V2's UNITATIS REDINTEGRATIO:

For men who believe in Christ and have been truly baptized are in communion with the Catholic Church even though this communion is imperfect.


Us prots are "undercover Catholics"! Yea!

I've been saying that for years. The word "Catholic" simply means "universal." 1 Cor 12. There is one body, not a multitude of bodies. The fact that there are some parts that are in schism doesn't erase the fact that there is one body.

And yes, proddies (used in the most generic sense) are part of that one body and their eyes are illuminated, to one degree or another, by the Light of Christ.
