Please, try to answer the question I asked and NOT THE ONE YOU WANT TO ANSWER:

Is it your assertion that Catholics ARE NOT believers belonging to Jesus Christ? A simple yes or no will do.

The wording of my question is DIRECTLY RELATED to this statement you made in post 93:

Although, unlike the Vatican’s organization, the believers belonging to Jesus Christ do not rely upon “religion”.

I don’t think your question is all that significant.

Of course there are Christians in the Vatican org.

I’ve even discovered there are authentic Christians trusting in the Blood of Jesus for their Salvation in, of all places, Mormonism.

Too many Evelyn Woods courses for you. Please read the statement...

“...unlike the Vatican’s organization...”

The answer is, the Vatican’s organization is a cesspool of errant claims and sacerdotal hogwash. If an individual clings to the organzation and such “religion”, then with Paul we contend that they are not believers but “religionists”. It makes little difference if a person clings to the Mosaic Law or the Vatican Law, the results are the same: lostness. They have not been made to understand the depth of their problem, the means by which they were rescued, and the way in which they are sealed into the Body of Christ.

But, can God rescue an individual holding on the errant organization and cause them to cling to Him? Well, the simple answer is...”yes”.
