Let's see:

The Catholic Church DOES NOT state that Salvation in unavailable to non-Catholics.

ALL Protestant denominations believe themselves to be part of the One True Church AND the Catholic Church considers ALL of these denominations to be in Communion with the Church to varying degrees.

With the exception of the Papacy, NONE of your other "false doctrines" is even peculiar to Catholicism and Huber who IS NOT Catholic (unless he recently converted) will probably attest to this.

One thing that has long been clear to me is how many self-identified "Bible Christians" (and this is almost an exclusively American group that is not found elsewhere) are so blinded by anti-Catholic bigotry that they are unaware that their beliefs are totally at odds with Protestantism and the Reformation.

Wagglebee’s response is on target. However, evangmlw, I had suggested to you that you identify two (2) areas that you believed to be false doctrine so that we could have a meaningful, focused discussion. Would you like to select two (2) from you list?
