...you probably are a follower of these people.

Why don't you believe me when I tell you plainly that I am not a Lutheran or a follower of anyone other than The Lord Jesus Christ? His words and accounts of him are recorded in the four main Gospels and in the last book in the New Testament, Revelation, in every translation of Holy Scripture that I've seen.

I have owned or had access, in bookbound or digital versions, to practically every translation of the Holy Bible into English. In this, I am exceedingly grateful for these works and am aware of my obligation to share what I've been told in Holy Scripture and what has been revealed to me by Almighty God the Father, namely that Jesus is the Christ and Son of God, and confirmed to me via the sealing of the Holy Spirit.

Many years ago at the age of 32, I heard the Gospel preached one more time and, by the Grace of God, accepted the gift of salvation with my share paid in full by the blood and death of Jesus Christ in my stead and then confirmed by His resurrection from the dead as He said. I turned at that time from the doctrines and traditions of men and have since followed the One and Only Lord Jesus Christ as preached by Paul in the Scriptures. There's much more that I could say but this is enough to explain the difference in which you and I are basing our practices of religious daily living.

If you are a non-Catholic...

I am a paid-up member of the universal Holy Catholic Church comprised of all believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

You appear to be a member of the Roman Catholic church, or a similar religious organization, which provides worship places for some members of the Holy Catholic Church.
