[Mrs. Don-o]

I do not "define the Church as the Roman Catholic sect." Baptism is how one is initiated into the Church. "born again," as Scripture says, "of water and the Holy Spirit." . If you are Baptized "in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," we recognize your Baptism.

That's not just Mrs Don-o's opinion. That is what the Catholic Catechism, basing itself on Scripture, says about it.

I have always said that; I have always recognized Protestants, Evangelicals, and other non-Catholics as Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

If you did not know that before, you know it now.

You say: "I would not commune at the Roman altar out of respect for you as well as not wishing to join in what I feel are unbiblical beliefs. I would think you would offer my denomination the same respect."

There we agree.

Thank you for the clarification. I also recognize anyone who has trusted Christ alone for their salvation and have been baptized into the Christian church as a brother or sister and I am sorry I misinterpreted your post. We will disagree over doctrine but we can voice our confidence in our salvation in Christ together

You are in disagreement with a good majority of your fellow RCs on these threads and much of Roman Catholicism based on this post.
