And likewise, I've had enough Catholics in real life tell me that I'm wrong for following Bible teachings and that I'm going to go to hell for it, both in real life and on FR.
It doesn't bother me in the least. My salvation is not based on church affiliation and I know that, but I don't expect most Catholics to know, or admit that. I was raised Catholic in an extended Catholic family, which included priests and a nun, grew up with Catholic classmates, worked with Catholic co-workers.
Catholics do not make any secret of what they really believe so I know what on the ground, grassroots lay Catholics think and believe about their faith. Sometimes it's different from actual CCC teaching. Often it's not.
Christian does not by default mean Catholic. Catholic does not by default mean Christian. They are not synonymous.
There are Christians in all denominations and Christians who belong to none. There are non-Christians in all denominations.
What God desires is a relationship with Him, not an adherence to a laundry list of legalistic do's and don't's - of which the Catholic church is not the only guilty party in that respect by any means. Any church that says that membership in it or following THEIR own rules and regs is what gets you into heaven is just as bad, and I've attended Baptist churches that can give the best of the Pharisees a run for their money as far as legalism is concerned.
FWIW, even Pentecostals have their own brand of legalism. They just don't recognize it or admit it.
Amen and Amen
