Just correcting your use of the word, "Church."

According to Scripture, the church is made up of all those graced by God with a true faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

"Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours." -- 1 Corinthians 1:2


"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ." -- 1 Corinthians 12:12

I also corrected your assumption that Protestants learn about Catholicism from "anti-Catholic pastors."

The Protestants on this forum learn right here on threads like these. By the grace of God, they also can discern fables from God's word.

Well said Doc.

Anna, do you have another understanding?

And still those fables (sola fide, sola scriptura, etc.) live on.
