And I will add that their time there (in the Evangelical denominations) was not a detour or wasted. In fact some of the greatest converts to the Catholic Church bring many gifts from their time as Evangelicals: Love for Jesus, the understanding of a personal and intimate walk with the Lord, a love for Scripture, and a zeal for souls.

Interesting.......

And the rest of us are being castigated for what again?????

No, the rest of us are like John's audience I Jn 2:19. "They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us." The believers elected by Jesus remain in truth...some of the rest end up in the RCC.

Simple.

Protestants rejoice when someone comes to Christ.

Catholics are bitter if they have the nerve to pick anything other than Rome.
