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

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

Dude, if you say someone’s beliefs are heretical, you are calling him a heretic

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.

My faith does not fit what the church says. I do not pray to saints, I do not pray to Mary, I believe Mary was a sinner like everybody else, I believe that Mary had sons and daughters after Jesus was born, etc.

I do believe the Bible is the word of God. I do believe that Jesus came down to earth, died on the cross for my sins, that Jesus and Jesus alone is my salvation, that I contributed nothing toward my salvation, that I will be in heaven when I die, and that I AM NOT A HERETIC. Period.
