Wow, I knew there were some folks around who didn't think Catholics were Christians. Do you really believe that, or is it just for rhetorical effect?

They're sure more Christian than the Episcopalians right now . . . maybe that's damning with faint praise, but it sure was nice to get into a Bible-believing, Christ-centered church! I haven't noticed any absence of Christianity in my new parish -- our priests preach the Gospel and "Jesus Christ, and Him crucified."

Well, to be fair, most of the Episcopalians I knew and know are true believers and followers of Jesus Christ too... They aren’t required to hold to the doctrines that their church leadership emits. But they just flat won’t take a stand on anything!

Maybe you misinterpreted. I don’t consider Catholicism to be entirely separate from Christianity, but Catholics can define Catholicism for themselves, including any statements of superiority. There are several Protestant denominations that are the same way.
