You're probably right. I do have many Protestant friends and we agree on many things (the Incarnation, the Holy Trinity, the Resurrection, etc) and we disagree on many things (the role of Mary, the Holy Eucharist, Confession). Among the Protestants, they disagree on many things as well. For example, I believe it's the Episcipalians who believe in the Real Presence and Lutherans believe in the Immaculate Conception of Mary and Anglicans have the Sacrament of Confession.

I try and understand my Protestant brothers and sisters, because many of them are good and holy people who love Jesus, but I still believe that all Protestants are separated from the one true Chruch.

God bless.

We all ( I guess ) believe the Apostles, Nicene and Athanasian Creeds. We all believe the catholic ( or Catholic ) church referred to in each of the creeds was the universal Christian church then existing. What we all have difficulty agreeing on today is which modern church most correctly follows the commission given by our Savior to St. Peter.

This last point of disagreement, however, appears irreconcilable ( much to Satan's delight, I suspect ).
