A few true words from you. That is rare these days.
This has been the standard of Christianity from the very start 2000 years ago. A little less than 500 years ago a few men came along with a new false gospel, called Sola Scriptura, that they used in their revolt against the order and authority Christ ordained for His Church.
but I am certain there are no Christians who are truly "catholic".
...but I am certain that only a person demonically deceived would make such an evil generalization.
MATTHEW 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

c.c.c.1367. "The SACRIFICE of Christ and the SACRIFICE of the Eucharist are one single SACRIFICE: 'The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different.' 'In this divine SACRIFICE which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an UNBLOODY manner.
Is in conflict with the Holy Bible.
HEBREWS 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].
HEBREWS 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
HEBREWS 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
If Jesus offered himself as one sacrifice for sins for ever how can your cult presume to make "unbloody sacrifices" without rejecting Jesus' sacrifice?
Both I JOHN 5:6-9 and GENESIS 1:26-28 showed your catholic-cut-and-paste which you claim to be protestant is WRONG why can't you open your eyes and see that?
