>>Well, I’m more interested in your opinion as a Catholic.<<

As a Catholic, I believe as the Vatican does...From CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH

“It follows that these separated churches and Communities, though we believe they suffer from defects, are deprived neither of significance nor importance in the mystery of salvation. In fact the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as instruments of salvation, whose value derives from that fullness of grace and of truth which has been entrusted to the Catholic Church”[12].

So you see, the Devil is in the Details. It is not for me to judge who Our Lord feels is Christian. It is in a person’s heart.

No, it isn’t a heart issue. It was laid out to you that a supposed “Christian” believed St. Paul was a heretic. You haven’t clearly stated what the Catholic position would be regarding such a person.

You might want to check out your own religions “bashing” of Mormon doctrinal beliefs. Ms. Pot.

To WHICH do 'these' refer?

The mormons, however, do not return the favor, with their Temple ritual (while it has been recently cleaned up) belittling and mocking the Nicean Creed and the churches that profess it:

“Lucifer employs a Christian Minister as his hireling lackey to confuse, deceive, and destroy all mankind along with Adam and Eve. He preaches to them a comical perversion of the 3rd century Nicean Creed, which Adam rejects, employing sarcasm and ridicule to develop audience contempt, but without hissing or booing, as was done in prior decades.”
