St. Paul first called the disciples Christians in Antioch. All there were at that time were Catholics. So Catholics were the first Christians according to St. Paul.

Acts:11:26: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Show me chapter and verse where that is stated in the Bible, using the term *Catholic*.

Otherwise, it's mere opinion.

So for you, A Christian is a Catholic. Does that include Kennedy, Pelosi, Chavez, Mafia hit men, etc?

What is the NT definition of *Christian*? Is it not *follower of Christ*?
