Notice how they convert to Rome, not Christ.

“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.” — 1 John 2:19

Not according to what Steve says:

Given that this gentleman was a Baptist, I would suppose he already considered himself to have “converted to Christ” long before he ever became a Catholic. The point of his discussion is obviously going to be “why I am a Catholic Christian now, not a Baptist Christian,” not “why I have been a Christian for a long time, not an atheist, Buddhist, or Zoroastrian”.

Talk to someone who became a Catholic from a non-Christian background, and their emphasis would be a bit different.

I've noticed that as well. Christ always is secondary and in the background.

They do not understand being Protestant does not = being saved.. and the unsaved can not understand the scriptures..they are foolishness to them..just as they are to Rome

The Catholic Church is the Church that Christ founded. Period. The rest is all nonsense.
