I know that this is a joke... but have you ever noticed that Catholics always have a St Peter at the gate joke... (my RC family has one every time I see them)

I think this reflects the church (as represented by Peter) as the gate keeper to heaven

The Mormons teach no one gets into the highest heaven until they pass Joseph Smith

But scripture says to be absent from the body is to be present to God.. no St Peter...no joseph Smith just the judgement os a Holy God.

Great observation.

And if a Protestant told one of those jokes he'd be accused of being an "anti-Catholic bigot."

Nah, lots of Protestants believe that St. Peter will meet them at the Pearly Gates.

That is, Protestant Christians
