I don't know about Protestants, but as a Christian I am a member of the ekklesia.

Born again, born from above believers ARE the true church.

Protestants are Christians and therefore members of Christ's body, aka, the church.

Your argument that Mary and saints are not worshiped but only venerated - rings hollow to many Christians. Kissing crosses, parading statues of the saints (including Mary) through the streets, holding up gold monstrances with a communion wafer that you claim is the actual body and blood of Christ, buying masses to deliver from purgatory - and many other practices are contrary to what Christians see in scripture. The scripture shows that the Father, Son and Spirit are preeminent and to be worshiped - not the saints, not Mary. You treat your Catholic church as being equal to Christ and constantly throw out that 'one true church' cannard; it is not. The church, any church, does not save us. Traditions do not save us. Jesus saves us. Period!
