personally I prefer "feelthy papist." It seems peculiar (maybe not) that you're encouraging Protestants (even in jest) to call Roman Catholics a pejorative like "filthy" which is clearly against the rules of the FR religion forum.
As Jesus asked, "Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?" (Matthew 22:18)
"Papist" suffices.

"Filthy" seems like small potatoes next to painting us as Nazi sympathizers, lunatics, or child molesters, all of which seem to be in vogue here, and completely permissable under "the rules of the FR religion forum".
As far as I've been able to determine, you can call groups of people anything you want as long, as you don't specify individual FReepers.

I'll tell you what seems peculiar to me. When I say "I prefer 'feelthy papist'," SOME Calvinists, the ones who don't answer a simple question without turning it into an attack (I still don't know what the WCF says about lay people baptizing), have to change what I wrote so that that they can make it an excuse to criticize.
So I'm going to contrinue to live with the thinly-veiled insults, attacks and implausibly denied hatred of people who do that kind of thing, and continue to pray for them.
God bless you.
