The Church holds that there is one church and all who are baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit belong to it.

Protestant/non Catholic Christians are our brothers and sisters in Christ.

It is not that the Church rejects Protestants, it is that she rejects the notion that there is more than one church.

Not quite...

'she' rejects the very idea that it could possibly be wrong about something.

I reject that as a inclusive statement, as a relative remnant shall be saved, far fewer in liberal Protestantism and Catholicism, while many RCs here disagree with your interpretation of Lumen Gentium if you hold that former Catholics now evangelical are even separated brethren. And which elitism is more consistent with historical statements by Rome,

Capital "C" meaning Prot churches are not worthy to be properly called churches.
