I've seen conversations where those who are "Born Again" (Pardon me if I'm not using the correct term), consider Catholics and other religious people "Bound for Hell" because they don't worship correctly.

I know one big issue involved baptism. I have no idea what Catholics do or whether it’s just certain “flavors” (if there is such a thing) that do it, but baptizing infants/children (and by sprinkling rather than immersion) was considered one example of their “doing it wrong.”

That, because in the (typical?) Protestant view, it doesn’t count unless you’re of age/maturity to understand what you’re doing and old John showed by example how it should be done.

That’s one thing that popped into my mind… might not apply today, I don’t know.

Not that I agree with the argument that infant baptisms aren't efficasious (sp?), but we renew our baptismal vows at every Catholic Baptism, and every Easter.
