Christ lives in the hearts of believers, called His church. They are individuals who make up the body of Christ...spiritually, not physically.

Yet you disqualify Catholics. Again, who gives you the authority to do this?

Once one is born again, one is no longer a sinner in God’s eyes

Really? Christ mentioned 'born again' on but one occasion. And nowhere in that did he say anything about us no longer being sinners in God's eyes. In fact, Jesus spent three years warning us not to sin. And Paul spent the years of his ministry telling us the same thing. I am not sure where you get your doctrine from, but it certainly did not come from the Bible.

I am the arbiter of nothing.

Yet you make the claim that Catholics are not Christians. If you are not the one deciding this, then who is?

Catholicism is not true Christianity, therefore those that remain in her.....

Here goes...the Spirit gives me the authority to say that Catholicism is not true Christianity.

It takes the Holy Spirit living in one to discern Scripture correctly otherwise man can easily fall into error.

All Catholics can be born again and filled with the Spirit but they won’t remain in the Catholic church once they are. The two are opposed...biblical salvation and Catholic salvation.

I’d urge you to listen to some testimonies of born again Christians who’ve come out of Catholicism if you are interested.

It is very hard for someone who is a good person to see their need for Christ and being born again...but us sinners (me) saved by grace know what a precious gift it is and have to shout it to everyone.
