Rather, we are on the fringes of Catholicity. We believe in Jesus as our savior, but we do not believe in the Catholic church

Well, I agree on both accounts. Except that you forgot (?) to reply in context of my post, which was in reference to the fact that the Reformed theology makes evil a creature of God.

Catholics are on the fringe of Christianity

Keep telling yourself that; you may even believe it. But, if "Christianity" is what the Reformed teach then I would gladly agree. In Catholicism/Orthodoxy God is never associated with evil, but in the Reformed theology He is the source of it.

“in the Reformed theology He is the source of it (evil).”

Keep telling yourself that and you may even believe it. But Reformed theology submits to the Scripture and the Scripture says God permits evil and can use it for His purposes. Perfect God cannot be “the source” of evil. But He can allow His creation to sin.
