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. 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*?
