I have no spiritual roots in any church, or religion...

That is quite obvious.

Were there no non-Catholic Christians prior to the 15th Century, 14th Century???

Of course there were. Among others there were the Orthodox. What DID NOT was any sort of YOPIOS crowd.

And there were lots of Copts, Armenians, Assyrians etc. -- though, theoretically all are Apostolics, so belong to the same tradition. We don't consider heretic groups like Gnostics or Paulicians as Christians -- unless your group derives from these.

Besides, this deviates from Natural law's post: "Even if your church broke away from the Catholic Church in the 15th century your spiritual roots and history are in the Catholic Church. " --> the only groups that do not have their spiritual roots in the Apostolic Church are the Gnostics, Sabateans, MAndaens etc. -- all others: Catholics, Orthodox, Orientals, Assyrians, Protestatns, have the spiritual roots at the base, the same.
