Jesus did say that those who are not against us are for us. I’d rather have people identify in some way with Christianity than not at all.

It was not a veiled threat, it is what Jesus said in several places.
Read my post 46 and you can see what I was referring to.

Yes, Jesus was talking about people who had obviously heard of him, they were not counted as unbelievers but maybe un knowledgeable.
The Catholics could say we need to prevent those protestants from preaching the gospel because they are not following us.
Jesus might simply say if they are not against us they are for us.
If some one is destined to be saved they will become believers.
Jesus told his apostles to preach the gospel to all nations he did not tell them to go argue with unbelievers.
Many unbelievers know the Bible better than most believers so what scripture are we going to point out to them?
I am not 100 percent sure that I am saved so I am just saying ( let it fall where it may. )
