Please don’t bash bad Catholics by calling them Protestants, slandering Protestants that are totally devoted to Christ as they truly see it.
A pro-birth control Catholic is gravely disobedient in their mortal sin. A pro-birth control person of other christian denominations might be sincerely following his denominations teaching or his own honest interpretation of the bible. That makes him not gravely sinning at all - far better than the disobedient Catholic/ex-Catholic.
A bad protestant is disobedient to his own beliefs, not one disobedient to Catholic beliefs.
And don’t forget about that repentance thing - Jesus doesn’t give up on us while we’re alive here, so don’t you give up on anybody still alive here...even those on death row or headed out of that abortion mill (the still living one)!
Let’s be fearless in our search for the fullest truth and following it! Pray for and love those that don’t vote for Jesus.
Absolutely YOU are correct.
My intent was to emphasize the historical definition of the word “protestant”, as a meaningful one—that of protestant-to-something, specifically in this case to the Church, who is not a denomination. The word “denominations” is for the use of protestants, to distinguish between themselves, one from another, but each and all together they remain protestant to the Church.
Heck, great numbers of protestant groups (thousands) are now protestant to the protestants. Lol!
I purposely left out repentance of the pro-aborters, until the false premise was addressed. If the basic truth and practices are rejected (and they were) there was no point in belaboring the a remedy.
An interpretation based on facts, truth and recorded history was a bridge too far, apparently.
But yes, you said it all, better than I. Thank you, FRiend. Rita %;)
