While there are disagreements among Catholics on many issues there is an objective rule of faith which a Catholic must accept. If they do not accept the defined doctrines of the Church then they cease being Catholic no matter what they call themselves.

Would that be the list of infallible ones? Or is that decrees that the Church has ordained that MUST be believed?

And just where does on get that list?

Does that include all the stuff about Mary being born sinless, perpetually virgin, and bodily assumed?

Does one must believe that the pope is infallible when speaking ex cathedra?

Does that mean that one must believe that the priest can and does forgive their sins and that without that they are not forgiven? That God Himself cannot override the priest and forgive sins Himself?

Does one HAVE to believe that salvation, life eternal, comes through eating the eucharist and that if one doesn't partake of the eucharist, one does not go to heaven?

Please provide a list of doctrines that a Catholic MUST believe to remain a Catholic in good standing.

A good place to start would be the Council of Trent, the Catechism of the Council of Trent, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

One can believe in the eucharist, or they can believe in Yeshua, but one cannot believe in both; they are mutually exclusive in all respects.

There will not be so much as one soul that hasn’t repudiated the lie of the eucharist on the Sea of Glass mingled with Fire.
