“No, you were reached by the Catholic Church, not God.”
Let me ask you a serious question: How would you know? How dare you assume you know what has or has not happened in my life? Where do you get off doing that? I flatly state the truth: Protestantism does not teach the true gospel. Protestants do not believe in the true gospel. I NEVER, EVER deny that some Protestant might have some faith in Christ and I don’t assume that Protestants are unsaved even though they do not know the true gospel in all its aspects. I don’t do any of that because I can’t claim to know every detail about every person - although many details are obvious in what people write. So, where do you get off assuming I have not had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ? Seriously, you need to check yourself.
“Don’t conflate the two.”
Again, you don’t seem to understand the obvious. Christ founded the Church. You can’t separate them.
