I would differ. Protestant Christians are no more rebellious toward God than Catholics. Rebellion and defiance toward God is a willful act rooted in pride, hate, and willful ignorance. Shallow minded, hateful, and spiteful attacks on the Catholic faith while refusing to investigate the truth and facts of the Catholic teaching (e.g. Catechism of the Catholic Church) is a form of sinful rebellion.

Nowhere in the Catechism is it stated that salvation is exclusive to card carrying Catholics.

Concersly, depraved hate filled non Catholics who make heretical statements involving the 2000 year old teaching of the Eucharist, for instance (as displayed by some on this blog) in an attempt to invoke anger, are flirting with spiritual death.

I guess the Council of Trent canons weren't included in the Catechism then. But it is binding on Catholics. You might want to read through them once. Or google this 'Bull Cantate Domino, 1441', infallibly declared no less. Careful, Pope Eugene IV has infallibly disagreed with you. You are in error in Catholicdom, Best hope Catholic Nomad doesn't show up.

I've noted your equating the RCC to GOD here.

HATE!

seems to be on your mind a lot.

This might work in the POLITICAL realm of FR; but it's gaining NO traction here.

I think you'd do better by addressing the CONCERNS of Protestantism, than claiming everything it does as BASED on hate.

But to relegate all who oppose Rome to being due to not investigate the truth and facts of the Catholic teaching, which goes beyond the CCC, which can change, and is not itself infallible, thus examining its foundational premises and claims is required.

And the more i have done that, then the more it drives me away as being in crtical contrast to the NT church, not that i think 'Protestantism" has arrived.

Nowhere in the Catechism is it stated that salvation is exclusive to card carrying Catholics.`

That is subject to varying interpretations as we have seen here.
