This “born again” stuff is fine with Protestants but as Catholics we don’t subscribe to this. We have the Mass and the Holy Eucharist. We view atheists, Buddhists, Protestants, as all in need of conversion to the One, True, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic faith. As Hillaire Belloc has so brilliantly explained and written in his book “Heresies,” all the rest are heretical beliefs, some more so than others. This occurred even in the early stages of Christianity. But the curse of the Reformation (35,000 Christian sects) and the heresies of Henry VIII continues to this day.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
It doesn't bother me at all that you guys don't believe God...What does bother me as a born again Christian is that you guys steal our name...
Jesus says, 'you MUST be born again'...You say no...And then you call yourselves Christians...
When I was a wee lad, Catholics were more honest and would quickly correct you if you called them a Christian...They would tell you in no uncertain terms that they were NOT Christians, they are Catholics...Wish you'd give our name back...

35,000 eh??? I'd guess that there about a dozen, or less...I'll tell you how you can really tell how many Protestant denominations there are...
Every time you come across a Protestant, ask him/her what he/she is counting on to get to heaven...Each different answer will tell how many different denominations there are...
So you don’t follow John Chapter 3?
