No, they think we condemn our children to hell for teaching them our faith. Well, that's a very difficult issue. Can people condemn people to hell is definitely a Calvanism type discussion. However Catholic doctrine certainly seems to keep people more distant from their bibles. Catholics are taught that the bible has huge holes in it regarding what is needed for salvation. Not directly but this thought is implied when we see what Catholics believe about Mary, purgatory, salvation by faith alone, and other things.

Well I have been to "Bible Study Foundation" through a Methodist Church and Catholic Bible study through my church now and the only difference I found was that the BSF people had a problem with Catholic teachings. When I told them that I was not happy with what they were saying (which was connected to idolatry and Mary) I was told that I had an option not to come back.
