Without a doubt. What I disagree with is the system. God has his lambs in every denomination.

Are Protestants "anathemized", “heretics”, “defective Christians”, or “separated brethren”?
I get called the former two far more often around here than the latter two. Consider it quid pro quo.

If you have to call it that yes. I prefer Bible believing Christian.

I stand on the side that says if one holds to be true all that the Catholic Church teaches then one has attained the fullness of faith. Anything less is one degree or another of a defective faith, no matter how earnestly held.
I also believe that events and beliefs that have led Christians to a falling away from the Catholic Church are the work of the deceiver of men and are further injuries to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Having said that, I consider those in the separated churches to be Christians by virtue of their baptisms and the limited truths they hold and adhere to.

Because of the necessity for personal, vital faith in the Lord Jesus Christ ... Protestants don’t even necessarily consider Protestants to be Christians.
But to the point of your question, most Protestants would freely acknowledge the presence of many true believers in Christ among Roman Catholics.
Many would add, though, that these are saved in spite of Catholic teaching on salvation and in partial contradiction to it.
To: netmilsmom
No. There were no Christians from the time Peter found the Church to the time Martin Luther found a hammer. Then poof, there were suddenly Christians again. Protestant magic.

Incredible. The Catholic Church saved Western Civilization.
