Since that time, I came to know what catholics were told to believe, and beyond that, came to read the Bible. I didn't know how prohpetic I was, in my ignorance...

As a protestant Christian who was educated in a Catholic school and has kept up with the teachings of the Church I categorically assert that Catholics are Christian. There may be Catholic practices in which I would not wish to partake, and there may be practices of Catholics with which I disagree, but the theology of the Roman Catholic Church has no more problems with it than the theology of the Presbyterians or Episcopalians or many independent Charismatic churches I have attended. We all see through the glass darkly and we all make mistakes. But if you put your trust in Jesus you are Christian.

Shalom.

The point of agreement. Yet most catholics I know, placed their trust in the sacraments; going through the motions by rote. There is no understanding, and you (all) may be the exceptions.
