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.

So what? And the Jews believe none of what you believe. Although we pretent to believe in the same God, they curse Jesus of Nazareth and are called to do so (Jamnia, 90 AD). The LDS call on Jesus as their Savior, yet you call them non-Christian because it's a "different" Jesus they believe in.
And the Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet and a son of Mary, but did not die on a cross; they deny that He is the incarnate Word of God.
And Arians believe(d) that Jesus was a lesser God than the Father, and the Gnostics believe that His death was an illusion, and so on and so on and so on. People believe all sorts of things.
But there is only one Church that was established and left by Him, and it ain't Presbterian!
