I haven’t heard that either. But I HAVE had evangelicals and fundamentalists try to tell me I’m not a Christian because I’m Catholic!
As a Catholic, I would never deny Christ to a Protestant who calls upon His name. I would ask for the same unity from a Protestant.
I remind Protestants of this:
John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. For he who is not against us is for us. For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.”
Mark 9:38-41
I’m a Protestant, and I completely 100% agree with your excellent post #23.
That’s all very heartwarming, but for the longest time non-Catholic believers have been told they are not Christians and doomed to hell.
There are still those here who say the same.
So you were saying?
