The Catholic Church doesn’t accept other churches’ sacraments

The Catholic Church now teaches that members of protestant churches will go to heaven under the "body of Christ" clause.

a = b = c logic. If they are teaching that they will be in heaven, then what the protestants are teaching is acceptable to God, therefore what the protestants are teaching is correct.

No. The Catholic Church teaches that who does and doesn't get into heaven is not our call.

Do you have a source for this? I'd sure like to print it out and send it to a certain member of my family who condemned me to hell for leaving the Catholic Church for a Christian Church.

I refuse to use the "protestant" word any more -- it is anachronistic and cannot be used to describe those outside orthodoxy

There is too much varience -- for instance the Luthernas believe in the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist and have an episcopate, while others don't, while some "protestant" groups like the Oneness Pentecostals reject the Trinity and other groups that by theology seem "protestant" like the Baptists say they aren't (ok, SOME baptists say they aren't Protestants)

I prefer the term non-orthodox.

It is based upon what is considered to be the updated RCIA set up.
