Your original post:

I never knew such a rift existed between Catholics and Protestants as what I see here on FR. It shouldn’t. And, in real life, I just don’t see such a rift.

I am Christian. I don’t care of one is Catholic or Protestant. We both share the belief that Jesus is Lord.

Now you say this...

Mormonism isn’t Christianity. The life, death, and resurrection is all part of Christianity. If they don’t accept all that as true, they’re not Christian.

IIRC mormons do believe this....in addition to a bunch of other non-biblical stuff....aka a church based in Rome.

Your point is well taken. We’re told not to add to or take away from the scriptures. In no way does the book of Mormon belong.

I’ve got no real issues with the Catholic faith, however.

I have friends that do missionary work in Africa. I am proud to say that I contribute to the cause. They tell me that some of the Africans accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. They ask the Lord to come into their lives and ask forgiveness of their sins. They also tell me that some of them continue to do some rituals they’ve been doing for generations — trying to communicate with the dead ancestors and a few other things we wouldn’t agree on. There is communication barrier so it is difficult to communicate everything with them. Should we not consider these folks Christian?
