That is correct. A Freeper would have to be a presently believing member of the LDS or Catholic church to participate on an "LDS/Catholic Caucus."

Concerning the underlined phrase: a Freeper who was once baptized Catholic and claims he is still technically Catholic even though he/she has since joined a Protestant belief is not welcome on a Catholic Caucus in the Religion Forum.

I’d like to ask a question and let me say up front that I will completely understand if this post is immediately removed.

Anti-Catholics on here frequently use disparaging terms for Catholics like “Romanists” and “Papists” (I’ve seen “Mackerel Snappers” used once or twice, but it’s been a while). These were slurs that were quite common decades ago in an era when other slurs were often quite common, nearly all Americans have since come to understand the bigotry associated with these terms and have ceased using them.

Here’s my question, can you give me a list of terms that were commonly used as disparaging terms for Jews prior to the mid-20th century, that no American (Jesse Jackson doesn’t count) would dare use in polite society, that you would allow to be used in the Religion Forum to describe Jews? For instance, in this sentence, “Like a horde of Turks bent on sacking Byzantine the Romanist have run roughshod over our caucus,” what anti-Jewish term would be appropriate to insert for “Romanist”?

Dear Religion Moderator,

But in an LDS/Catholic caucus thread, if the LDS folks were explicitly arguing against the doctrine of the Trinity, wouldn't other non-Catholic Trinitarians have an interest in defending their belief, which was being explicitly argued against?
