You confuse doctrine with personal behavior and therein lies your problem. This is why the leading Anglican theologians such as Cardinal Henry Newman or the leading Lutheran theologian in the United States such as Richard Newhaus converted to Catholicism to say nothing of the thousands of theological scholars, who have spent a lifetime examining scripture, tradition and revelation and have converted to Catholicism.

That there a low-information non-Catholic Christians who are good and holy is not debatable. But as the famous English essayist Hillaire Belloc points out in his book “heresies,” all non-Catholic off shoots are heresies and Protestantism in particular spawned a “cluster of heresies.” His reasoning and explanation is unassailable.

Those who do not subscribe to the central tenets of Catholicism aka as the Catechism are cafeteria Catholics or Cino’s that rhyme with Rino’s.

Your statement encapsulates where Catholicism goes wrong. You subscribe to the catechism rather than to God's Word.
