Daniel, your source is suspect. I found this at your link, and it impeaches the interpretation of everything there:
“In addition to resting her case for the papacy essentially upon circular reasoning – namely, that according to her interpretation of Mt. 16:13-19) only her interpretations can be correct in any conflict – Rome also seeks to validate her presumed preeminence via a supposed historical linkage back to the apostles. Yet the authenticity of the, or a, true church does not rest upon any real or supposed historical linkage back to the apostles, any more than the authenticity of a true Jew rests upon physical linkage back to Abraham, as Rm. 2:28, 29 declares. Rather in both cases, authenticity is based upon Abrahamic type faith in the apostolic gospel, which knows nothing of salvation by proxy, or justification that depends on Romish rituals, but which justifies the destitute sinner with imputed righteousness the moment they repent and cast all their faith upon the risen Lord Jesus (and thus follow Him:. Acts 10:34-47). Praise ye the Lord!”
Who is the “Peace by Jesus” website used by?

That is my site, by God’s grace (and i need it), and if you have been following the thread, it is no secret that i oppose Romanism for Scriptural reasons. However, the sources are sources, from various places, including CBS, and Catholic ones, etc,. and outside the Barna ones, who changed their whole site so the old links don’t work (their working on it they said) you should be able to go to them. I collect all kinds of stats, as that page attests (send those you find), and i have never found any that contradicted the general trend shown here.
BTW, the 8 got clipped of the beginning where it says,
2% of Mainline Churches, 77% of Catholics and 53% of Evangelical Churches affirmed, “There is MORE than one true way to interpret the teachings of my religion.”
