Protestant Christianity ≠ Evangelical though most Catholics lump them together.

So, which Evangelical group is on record as opposing contraception?

How should we "lump" them? If the "Five Sola" were valid principles they WOULD all be lumped together.

Liberal Protestantism with it's acceptance of female clergy, abortion, homosexuality, etc. was always going to be the outcome of YOPIOS, because man's sinful nature will result in him using YOPIOS to rationalize his sin.

That said, I've never had a Catholic knock on my door to invite me to church.

If you speak about Catholicism to the people you know the same way you speak about Catholicism on FR then I can't say that I blame them.

I understand that not all Protestants define themselves as Evangelicals. My mother is a Prebyterian, old-school from Northern Ireland, and she would never check the “evangelical” box.

Some sub-groups in the Anglican Communion consider themselves Evangelical and/or Charismatic, while others are totally not-that and think my Catholic parish is way too Evangelical.

wagglebee, will you please cite the specific creeds/confessions/articles of faith/doctrinal statements for every Evangelical denomination - or at least for the NAE and their member organizations - that shows evangelical adherence to the Five Solas?
