I'll address this from how I see it...The more I learn of Catholicism teachings the more I see they have moved far from the Gospel message....and are actually delivering something very different in it's place..... The message is one of bondage where Christ sets us free....the teachings are diametrically opposed to what Jesus himself stated we should not listen to or do.....the rituals and various other requirements mislead individuals and by doing so innocent people never reach the High calling of God in Christ Jesus....rather they fall under the law and devotion to a leader/Pope and it's Magisterium...all which oppose Christ's teachings via the traditions they claim as having the same authority as the scriptures...and that's a lie.
I could of course go on about having learned about catholicism..much right here from those who are catholics....the rest from the Vatican site....and that which it requires of it's members.
So I would therefore say that No...I do not see myself as in unity with most catholics and certainly not to their teachings....nor would I ever desire so...it's enough for me to agree with Christ that He is sufficient for me and trust Him for the teachings he would have me learn...always and ever confirmed by His written word...not by a group of men who claim to be His representation on earth...they are not.

I’m sorry, did I ask you?
But, since you were pinged to pile on....
When a protestant is asked, “What is Truth?”, the answers will be an numerous and varied as there are protestants.
So,forgive me if the opinion of a protestant regarding the Church and truth is not one I care about.
