To follow-up, Thanks to all the wonderful Non-catholics who said that Catholics were Christians, this post is for the Catholics to chime in.

Do you think Protestants are Brothers and Sisters in Christ? Are Protestants Christians?

[netmilsmom]

Thanks in advance!

Do Roman Catholics consider Protestants to be Christians?

This one does. Most certainly.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Yes, we do from Benedict XVI on down to me.

[Judith Anne]

Probably most of them are.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

And we do believe the same thing that most Protestants believe about Catholics. Whereas you think some of our beliefs are flawed, we believe some of your (regardless of denomination) beliefs are flawed.

Could you ping your lists for us? Thanks!

almost.

but that's just me. I spent 20 years in that wasteland.

In a nutshell, Catholics consider Christ’s sacrifice to be absolutely necessary for salvation. Protestants consider it to be absolutely sufficient. The debate continues, and I would not deign to try to have the last word.

Of course, that wasn't the question, but who's paying attention.

Of course. I consider them brothers and sisters in Christ.

Well it is an answer though.

Sure. If they believe in the Apostles Creed and accept Baptism they are Christians seperated from the True Church but Christain nonetheless.

[acapesket]

I consider all Christians and Jews as well, my brothers and sisters.
Period.

Well it is an answer though.

And surely the question is being asked lots of places.

” Jews as well, my brothers and sisters.”

That’s a fact, but the question was do Catholics consider Protestants to be Christians. ( -;

[the invisib1e hand]

I guess I don't consider them to be Catholics, and the other categories really don't matter to me.

And I think people who slam the Blessed Mother, whatever they call themselves, are idiots and I really don't care what they worship.

I remember what an ever-loving dunce I was when I believed all that nonsense.

[acapesket]

I said all Christians and Jews.

[narses]

Well said!

[Tax-chick]

Yes.
