How many times I gotta tell you people that THE CHURCH is the body of believers in Jesus Christ!

I am the church and anyone else who is born-again and filled with the Holy Spirit is the church.

The church is made up of believers worldwide in every denomination no matter what building they worship in.

The only thing about the RCC that remotely resembles the church are the born-again believers who happen to worship there, and I would bet there are not many.

There in lies the problem...They admit that they are not filled with the Holy Spirit, only their clergy are...The only time Jesus is inside them is when they eat the wafer...

As a result, they can not belong to the same church we belong to...

Their new pope teaches them that they don't even have to have faith in Jesus to achieve salvation; just good works...

Ephesians 4:5. There is one Church, one Faith and one baptism. Not the whatever of whomever whenever they want.

John 3:3-5

Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.

Jesus never said 'born again'. He said 'born from above', and 'born of water and the Spirit'. We may have a failure to communicate here.
