I don't call anyone a heretic. Only you know if your belief is heretical or not. Heresy being, by definition, teaching other than what the Church taught from the beginning. In that sense, I do say that Protestant theology is heresy.

In that case, not only do you call me and every other Protestant out there a heretic, you are calling yourself one, also. Some traditions and Papal utterings and Vatican II, the praying to Mary and the saints, etc, were not taught “in the beginning.” They were added on years and centuries later.

Dude, if you say someone’s beliefs are heretical, you are calling him a heretic. Just as plain as the nose on your face. (note: the reference is not intended to insult anyone who does not have a nose.)
By that definition, the RCC and the EO have strayed far far from the church as evidenced by the many fables each preaches and the obstacles each inserts between God and men and most especially in their incorrect teaching regarding justification by faith alone.
