***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.

***I don’t call anyone a heretic.***

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.)

No, the Church only specified what it believed when challenged by heresies. It did so as one body of Chirst.

I don't know Dude. My name is Kosta. I also don't know what other people believe. I know what I believe. So, if your faith doesn't fit the faith believed by the Church from the beginning, then you know if you are a heretic or not.
