I think this small-"c" non-Catholic Christian has the right idea:

If I were a betting person, I'd bet my right arm up to the shoulder on this. (Thank you, Anitius!)

I agree and I'm Catholic.

When a person is baptised by water in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, he is incorporated into the body of Christ, therefore he is Christian.

This is Catholic teaching.

The problem with that is the Pope still says Jesus can’t be found outside the church, whether you are talking big C or little c, it is still an erroneous statement. Jesus can reveal himself to whomever he pleases, inside or outside the confines of any church. That’s what He did for Paul, and I have no doubt He has done so for many others.

We’d do well to remember that Jesus created the church, not the other way around. The church is bound by Jesus, but Jesus is not bound by any church.
