Your first sentence giveth, and your second sentence taketh away.

The Catholic church is the only organization that claims to be the only church that Jesus created and that everyone who believes is a member of it by default whether they know it or not.

Nope. That's not it. The Catholic Church does not think there is more than one church. We do not think we are the only church which Jesus founded if that means that we think that there are other churches which he did not found. We think he founded one Church and all the baptized are members of it AND that the 'fullness' of that Church is found among those in communion with the Holy See.

And the Catholic church today looks nothing like the church as found in the book of Acts.

So?

I ASSUME you are well aware that there ARE A LOT of RC's hereon who say many things quite the opposite of that . . . about other Christians etc. . . . claming that THEIR construction on Roman Catholic realities is the correct and only Vatican authorized version.

sigh.

The RCC thinks a lot of things.

The RCC anathematizes (damns to hell) all Protestants who believe in the assurance of their salvation by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ according to God's grace through faith in His Son.

However, the RCC teaches that muslims are saved because they say they believe in the God of Abraham and thus muslims and RCs worship the same God.

Apparently when a Protestant says he believes in the God of Abraham, Rome doesn't buy it. But Rome does believe a muslim who says he worships the God of Abraham, a god who teaches muslims to kill Christians and deny Christ.

Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do.

the 'fullness' of that Church is found among those in communion with the Holy See.

As opposed to being in communion with`Our All KNOWING,
All SEEING God. Of course HIS Church is.

The RCC's heresy is deep deep deep!
