False Doctrine
For Starters:

* Mary was sinless.
* Mary is a mediator between God and man.
* Praying to saints and Mary.
* Catholicism is the one true church.
* Salvation cannot be found outside Catholic church.
* Designated priesthood.
* Pope as head of the church (the vicar of Christ).
* Cup & bread literal blood & body of Christ, where salvation facilitated.
* Infant baptism.

Let's see:

The Catholic Church DOES NOT state that Salvation in unavailable to non-Catholics.

ALL Protestant denominations believe themselves to be part of the One True Church AND the Catholic Church considers ALL of these denominations to be in Communion with the Church to varying degrees.

With the exception of the Papacy, NONE of your other "false doctrines" is even peculiar to Catholicism and Huber who IS NOT Catholic (unless he recently converted) will probably attest to this.

One thing that has long been clear to me is how many self-identified "Bible Christians" (and this is almost an exclusively American group that is not found elsewhere) are so blinded by anti-Catholic bigotry that they are unaware that their beliefs are totally at odds with Protestantism and the Reformation.

I don’t know anyone who identifies himself as a Bible Christian. A born again Christian perhaps...
