Semantics. Explain the practical difference.
Paul instructed us to turn away those who do not act Christian. To declare somebody to be damned is the province of Christ, not any man. Many antiCatholics, however, presume to take it upon themselves to make that declaration upon others. You hang out with bunch right here.
Of course the Catholic church never engages in that sort of thing, right?
For one thing, they don’t expel the immoral brother.
They continue to eat with those who practice immorality.
The even take communion from those priests, for goodness sake.
And all the *anathemas* pronounced on those who disagree with Catholic pronouncements, well, that doesn’t really count I suppose.
