I believe you are correct concerning the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church post Vatican II. Trent, Vatican I, and a whole host of former "traditional" doctrines are quite different in their approach.
What all Protestants object to is the following equation:
The Body of Christ = The Holy Catholic Church = The Roman Catholic Church
We of course believe the first part, but not the tertiary link to the Roman Catholic Church.

**I believe that the Church teaches that they (the baptized) are baptized into the Church, but are protesting some parts of the faith. The Church calls them "our separated brethren."**

A Catholic link that would support your statement SDG would be appreciated. FReegards.
