You ought to consider that some of us are not going to take it laying down when we are told that we are a special kind of heretic for leaving the Catholic Church and will be guaranteeing ourselves a place in hell for that.

And I’ve been told that not only by some FRoman Catholics just in the last couple months, but have been told that by Catholics I worked with.

It is not normal Roman Catholic mentality to consider those outside the Roman Catholic Church as brethren. There is a greater level of tolerance for those of more Orthodox persuasion. They are more the ones I’ve heard referred to as separated.

But Protestants? Not so much. Matter of fact, rarely.

And you ought to consider that I said nothing of the kind.
And backatcha with sprinkles for calling us idolaters and the rest.

Distinguo: Somebody saying that YOU might end up in Hell is not the same as saying that all the Separated Brethren or all apostates will end up in Hell.

It is not normal Roman Catholic mentality to consider those outside the Roman Catholic Church as brethren.

Once again you confuse your experience of Catholics to be perfectly representative of Catholics everywhere. This is bad reasoning.

It also contradicts my experience. I have NEVER EVER been told that I would go to hell for being a Protestant and I spent a lot of my clerical career working with Catholics on a number of matters.
