Your thinking would be wrong, but you are certainly entitled to have those thoughts and be in error.
Do you really and truly believe that Catholics are just mindless zombie shills for the Catholic Church?
That would explain a lot.
I believe that in this present evil age, Catholics have been blinded to the truth that is in the gospel of their salvation. I believe that they have been deceived by the prince of the power of the air, and their only hope is trusting in the finished work of Christ for their salvation. Satan seeks to destroy and there are none more vulnerable than those who are not firmly grounded in God's word. Not God's word plus man's explanation of what God really meant to say. Deceivers are everywhere and they, like Satan, can transform themselves into angels of light, whose end shall be according to their works. Knowing that a man is not justified by works, these people are lost. If you are in a church who tells you works are part of your salvation process, then you know you can never be saved by those works, only judged. My works, or Christ's finished work on my behalf. Those are the only two choices. God Bless.
Mindless shills? Absolutely not. Led astray? Absolutely.
