....Protestants are indeed Christian, just incomplete.

We prefer unencumbered by a lot of useless ritual and veneration of non-gods.



 

I believe what is meant is that Protestants...what Catholics call everyone that is not Catholic (kinda like Jews classifying all not Jews as Gentiles)-- are not complete Catholic.

They believe that being "complete" is being a Catholic.

The Bible makes it clear that "completeness" can only be achieved by being brought into the Kingdom of God by Jesus via the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, it comes full circle.

Catholic are complete Catholics.

But incomplete Christians.

They seem to reject the simple salvation offered in the Bible in favor of rituals and The Other Gospel they call Traditions. It trumps scripture, like the BOM, it is more "accurate" than scriptures.

You would have thought they would have made the Bible perfect when they compiled it!
