Catholics have been following me from thread to thread for years now with that question, often doing exactly what bb stated, bringing it up when it is not relevant to the discussion at hand, IOW thread hijacking.

Yes, that qualifies as stalking and playing games.

If I thought that the question was being asked in good faith, I would answer it, but precedent indicates that if I do answer that one, and they don't like the answer, I'll be branded some kind of -ist heretic. If I do answer it, there will be yet another question waiting in the wings with which they will try to bait me into revealing my denomination by the process of elimination and trying to figure out what -ism I am so they can brand me a heretic, as if I even care whether I am a heretic according to Catholicism because that does not equate to being a heretic to Christ.

I am not setting myself up to be judged by Catholics as to whether I'm good enough for them or not. Been there, done that, and not going back. I'm free in Christ now and not going back under that kind of bondage. I answer to Christ and Him alone. The Catholics church is not my judge.

My identity is found in Christ, not a denomination or religion.

Galatians 2:19-20 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

...bait me into revealing my denomination by the process of elimination...

If they want mine; all they have to do is a little research of my posts.

It has been revealed before.

Dear, Met

Personally. I think your reading more into it than you need to but that’s your decision on how you probably see it

I just find it odd that some people would not want to openly express their faith. I love my faith and am thrilled when someone asks me questions about what I believe.

I have even faced plenty of persecution for my faith from people that are even close to me . The persecutions strengthen my faith because Our Blessed Lord told us we will be persecuted because of Him

Don’t worry, I won’t ask you again since FR has adopted political correctness sadly

I wish you a Blessed day!
