I’m glad if that’s so... I understand that most modern Roman Catholic takes are that the Roman organization in some sense encompasses the others. I’m not going to complain about such a claim if it wishes to make it, because it is “almost” coterminous with the notion of “invisible church” that evangelicals generally espouse. If you’re a believer upon Him, it doesn’t matter if you are in Rome or Timbuktu or Nashville, you are part of that church. In heaven there aren’t any Roman Catholic or Baptist or Orthodox or Methodist, etc. seats. They are all permanently adopted sons and daughters of the Savior. The return of the Lord would show the believers still on earth how He wants them to coalesce, and with even a pope bowing down to Him there aren’t going to be any institutional pride problems any more. If a literal rapture happens this will be new believers, and ones who suffered through a nasty tribulation to boot.
