Because Catholics are also believers and part of the body but some are too narrow-minded to realize it.

Yes, I hope at least one RC FR poster here today is a Christian, hopefully more. But you toss the word "believers" around too casually.

My terminology of "believer" is one called and chosen by God through the hearing of or reading of the Word of the Truth Who is THE LORD Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, and only Savior of sinful mankind; such a believer is a faithful follower of Jesus of Nazareth (to death) and one who has been born again of the Spirit and sealed forever in Christ by the Holy Spirit and will be resurrected or caught up with Jesus when He appears next as King of kings and Lord of lords.

My definition pertains to the narrow path, not the wide boulevard and also is what is taught in the Holy Bible, OT and NT.

And you believe that doesn't apply to Catholics? Where does Scripture tell you to judge another's salvation? If they confess with their tongue that Jesus is Lord who are you tell tell them they aren't saved?

But you toss the word "believers" around too casually.

And you deny believers are saved and have accepted Christ simply because you don't like where they worship.

Let me ask you this, where does Jesus tell believers to go and erect stone edifices dedicated to him? Where does he talk about establishing theological seminaries? Are they Scriptural?

There are churches built around one scripture or section of the Word and they all believe they have the "corner" on salvation. I tell you bunkum.

You're going to be surprised who you sit next to in Heaven.
