...what I know for certain is that the current Baptist faith is in line with the original Christian churches, not roman catholic constructs.
And how do you “know” that?

. . . and which Baptist church? There are many different flavors of Baptist to choose from. Which of the dozens or hundreds are you?
Again, maam/sir/whatever, I can read. I can read the scriptures and they tell anyone who can understand written language that it’s so.
There’s no point in belaboring this, I’m a protestant calvinist who knows he knows he’s saved, and it’s my view that we, the members of the RCC and I are brothers and sisters in Christ, regardless of our petty squabbles.
I have an older sister, as hard as that is to imagine, who’s daughter, (brought up in an evangelical church), married a guy who was Catholic. My sister had hissy fits, she couldn’t believe her girl was losing her salvation over such a thing as “love”. My council was to love all of them. We all, you and I, my fellow FRiend believe Christ is our savior and died on the Cross for our sins, and we are relying on that fact for our salvation. Our ancillary differences of opinion do not cancel that critical fact out.
We may want to argue about it in Heaven, but I’m of the mind that we’ll have better things to do.
