I am concerned that I am misusing or misdefining terms used by the Church.

The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I do not consider any of the hundreds of Reformed Churches part of the Catholic Church; not by the Catholic Church’s choice but by the Protestants.

Now, with each Protestant church having its own set of rules, definitions, confessions and doctrines, I do ask pardon when I don’t get them right. And if I inadvertently insert traditional Christianity’s terms and beliefs into an essay on some modern day religion, I do ask pardon for that as well.

There are many more Protestant beliefs than the collection of Reformed, Dr. E. and sometimes the clamour makes things a little difficult to follow.

Your error had nothing to do with Protestant beliefs.

The error you admitted to, Mark, was that you not only attributed to Calvinists a belief of your church (infused righteousnes), you then spoke against that belief.

Thus is was the belief of your own church you got wrong.

A simple "I goofed" is sufficient.
