Not to interfere in your conversation....but why??/it abbreviates protestant...Catholics are often referred to as RC's and we know what it means.......just asking!

I've noted a small number of catholics on this board use the term "prot" as a means to diminish, put down, insult, etc, posters who are not catholic. There's also an attitude of condescension displayed by a few catholics on this board (you're not one of those btw) who claim their denomination is superior to all others. I don't see denominations as being superior. Christianity is superior to all other religions to be sure.

I know for many who've grown up catholic, methodist, baptist, lutheran, etc, all think their respective denomination is the right one. But they're not. Not one denomination is mentioned in the Word. Only Christianity is talked about.

I think if we could get our minds focused on Christ we'd all be a lot better off.
