Completely untrue.
All they need believe to remain non-Catholic is that the Catholic Church is an organization that teaches Biblically unwarranted doctrines.
Fundamentalists believe the same to be true of the Anglican Communion and of the traditional Lutheran Church as well, yet their rejection of these churches as not truly reformed does not usually lead them into such vicious rhetoric.

You have made an excellent point (and a reference to Eastern Orthodoxy would have made it even more clearly), and I must concede it (though you must admit that Lutherans don't seem as paranoid about "illiterate Fundamentalists" as Catholics are). So when are you going to condemn attacks on Rev. Hagee's physical appearance?
Wideawake, has the irony of this situation never struck you? For a thousand years illiterate rural Catholics were prejudiced against those urban, cosmopolitan Jews with their chr*stless "works religion" (even though their own "true religion" came from the older "false" one). And what has happened? In America Catholics find themselves the liberal urban cosmopolitans surrounded by illiterate rural "bigots" who accuse them of a chr*stless works religion (even though their own religion comes from that selfsame older "works religion"). Moreover, there are anti-Vatican conspiracy theories that are the perfect counterparts of all those "Jewish-Freemasonic conspiracy" theories some Catholics still peddle. You see no poetic justice in this whatsoever? I do. It's called middah keneged middah (measure for measure).
