Protestantism is a damnable and heretical sect for that reason more that for what they "think" about the Purgatory, by the way.

So then, you disagree with the decrees that came out of the second Vatican Council? Such as:

1. All who have been "justified by faith in baptism" are members of the Body of Christ; they all have the right to be called Christian; the children of the Catholic Church accept them as brothers.

2. The Catholic Church believes that the separated Churches and communities "are efficient in some respects." But the Holy Ghost makes use of these Churches; they are means of salvation to their members.

Just goes to show you that we Catholics do not marh in lockstep (as we have been accused of doing).

So, no demand today from any Catholic for a retraction, reparation, or apology?

What about yesterday? You said it happens every day.

"The Catholic Church believes that the separated Churches and communities "are efficient in some respects."

And recognizes that they are deficient in other respects. Not all "separated" churches are equal. Some differ with Catholic doctrine in limited areas and other are indeed damnable and heretical sects. We know them by their fruits and fruitcakes.

Even more amusing is that now the non-Catholics are claiming the ability and right to rightly divide and interpret the Lumen Gentium too. LOL

Protestants are Christians (and all men are our brothers) and sanctification through Bible alone is possible, — that is the “efficient through some respect” part. This does not mean that Protestantism is a valid way to heaven, — it is not. It is a sect based on lies about the Holy Gospel and self-interest of the pastors who ought to know better — they went to seminaries.
