Yet they fail to comprehend the broadside that this one verse constitutes against the entire Protestant & Catholic & Orthodox churches! If the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said that they were but one church among many, I wonder what the response would be? But the LDS have never left that option open.

Oh pulese! From my understanding, the Catholics think you and I and everyone who is not Catholic are going to hell until recently, any unbaptized infant who died was going to join us, too.

There are also Plenty of protestant churches with equally damning statements about anyone who is not e member of their church, I have yet to see you broadside any of them, care to ping me to a few posts in say the last month where you do? If so I will publicly apologize for misjudging you.

Allow me to pull a common LDS tactic/trick: That's not official Catholic doctrine...checked off by The First Popery and the Quorum of 12 Archbishops and 70 General Authorities (otherwise known as nuns, the true behind-the-scenes leaders :) and unanimously sustained by every Roman Catholic everywhere & then printed in the Roman Catholic new scriptures, "Roman Catholic Doctrines & Covenants"...

But seriously, there is one "serious" note of distinction in my graph above, one that also applies to your "Protestant" church reference here (tho I don't personally know of what Protestant churches you even reference...I mean pulling that response out of a hat is like me citing some obscure LDS break-off group & then tying that to LDS). Anyway, here's the big difference: What I reference is LDS "Scripture." What you reference re: Catholics is informal Catholic beliefs...and perhaps a few past Pope statements that would amount to no more of a doctrinal level than Brigham Young's blood atonement or Adam-god doctrine. And the same is true of whatever Protestant churches you refer to: What scripture are they citing?
