Thanks to God, I'm not a "reformed" Calvinist. Nope, you're a Roman Catholic. In the common vernacular, a Roman Catholic is a Catholic who follows the Pope, rather than a Eastern Catholic who follows the Patriarch.
The term "Roman" modifies Catholic to indicate one who follows the Pope who sits in the Vatican inside Rome.
You want to play little word games to deflect from the facts you cannot address...

Nope, you're a Roman Catholic. When I say I'm not, over and over, and you disagree, YOU are the one who is wrong.
It IS interesting to see how many people resort to throwing the term "Roman Catholic" like an accusation, though. That's been informative.
...the Vatican inside Rome.
Vatican City is an independent city-state. It is not part of Rome.

You want to play little word games to deflect from the facts you cannot address... Quite the opposite: I'm dealing with people who cannot or will not refer to my Church by her proper name, and I am attempting to resolve that first.

See my post #289, which addresses your question. Petronski is a rightly a Catholic, and canonically, I think is a Roman/Latin Rite Catholic, but again, all Catholics are not Roman/Latin Rite.

Amazing how little these "experts" on the Catholic Church actually know about it.
