That does not mean that I think all Catholics are Christian or that all Christians are Catholic or that everyone who says he is a Christian, is.
Catholicism, like Judaism, is both a faith and also a culture.
Peter, for instance, who was obviously a Spirit filled, Christ loving Christian also was Jewish by faith and culture and birth. Whereas that fact got in his way more than once (e.g. the sheet visions and being sent to Cornelius, a Gentile) - it didn't take much to get back on track.
Bottom line, I do know quite a few Catholic Christians who would have answered your challenge about what is most important to them with "I love Jesus" instead of "I love my Church."
God's Name is I AM.
Thanks, Alamo-Girl.
What are they still doing in the Catholic church is they are born again?
