"Prove" I'm not Catholic? What are you -- high inquisitor? I owe you nothing of the sort. But thanks for confirming my point.

What was your point? Duplicity?

And "high inquisitor" is an interesting term, dontcha think?

All you've offered is scathing criticism of Protestants. Period. Yet no one would be wondering about your church affiliation if you hadn't asserted many many many times that you "aren't a Catholic," but that you think all the Reformers and most Protestants are wrong to disagree with Rome about anything.

I've been asked for my church affiliation and I've given it. I'm a Presbyterian.

So for the record, you're refusing to tell any of us what denomination you belong to or what type of "Protestant" church you attend?

But it just so happens that we agree on the really important stuff: salvation through Jesus Christ, faith in God, loving our neighbors as ourselves, belief that the Scriptures are the word of God -- and so everything else is distinctly secondary.

It isn't salvation through Jesus Christ and faith in God, it is salvation by faith in Jesus Christ.

That is why our differences aren't cosmic, they are essential in determining who truly is a Christian.

Indeed it is interesting, which is why I chose it. It's a swell description of your behavior. But of course, as usual you will continue to ignore the log in your own eye....
