I don’t pretend to know the hearts of everyone who claims to be a Christian but yes, if they accept and believe what the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church teaches they are Christian.
Are all Protestants Christians?
So the church makes them Christian? The church doesn’t have much to do with personal salvation. No, I don’t believe all protestants (or Catholics) are Christians. When they put their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and have a true relationship with Him, confess their sins to Him, live for Him, then they are Christian. No rites can save you. Only YOU can make the decision to live for Christ and take Him as your Lord and Savior. Thanks for your reply. M
