I accept Catholics as Christians, but until I started visiting this forum, I didn’t realize the feeling wasn’t mutual.

Mighty nice of you to accept us and all, but the recent statement from the Vatican makes as clear as any open mind would desire that Catholics do NOT think that they are the only Christians.

And there IS a problem in that part of any Christian groups doctrine is ecclesiology. Where they differ profoundly it seems unlikely that both will be right, just as if the "Catholic Bible" differs in content from the "Protestant Bible" it seems logically impossible that both Bibles would be just as good.

Something tells me you don't actually mean this.

If Catholics don't think they are the only Christians, why do I keep reading posts that strongly imply such???

Hello, please just ignore my post to you. I really don’t like getting into these kinds of disagreements with fellow believers. God Bless you.
