Really? Who said that?
You're kidding, right?
Almost everyone who is not Catholic who says they are a Christian says they are because they follow Christ, not because they're not Catholic.
They follow the image that they see in the mirror, after breakfasting on YOPIOS. Either you follow the institution that Jesus Created and the Holy Spirit Commissioned at Pentecost or else you do not.
Show me who said that they’re a Christian because they weren’t Catholic.
And to save you time, don’t confuse those who say that they’re not Catholic because they’re Christian. It’s not the same thing.
Well, I do not follow any institution because Jesus never came to establish an institution.
Salvation is through Jesus alone and not any organization or institution.
Nope. Not kidding. Just answer it.
You said, "Many proclaim here that they are Christian because they are not Catholic. ".
OK. Who said it and where? Links will work. I'll click on them.
